Foreign NGOs, which are requested to wait for the time being, are strongly advised to inform and consult with a Pref. DVC prior to the commencement of its activities (in Japanese language Please!!). The Pref. DVC may advise the NGO about needs, local DVCs etc..
During the operation, please do keep in close contact with municipality DVCs, and do inform the same DVCs about the end of the operation well ahead of time, so that someone else may take over it smoothly.

３）Many SWCs/DVCs are still struggling to set up and sustain their activities. NGOs should realize the importance and present situation of local DVCs, and are advised to support them in many ways, as some of them have lost many basic resources.
4）We observe that more NGOs and relief materials are in Miyagi Pref. than in Iwate Pref., Fukushima Pref., and other Prefectures. There is a general tendency to avoid Fukushima Pref. due to fear of nuclear radiation, where many people are struggling hard to help the victims.
