When a major typhoon threatened to dump a lot of rain on Kumamoto in July, some of the evacuation orders were seen as overreactions. As I pointed at the time (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/kumamoto-i/conversations/messages/12956), predicting exactly where a landslide or flood will occur in time to evacuate potential victims is not a simple matter. Sadly, in this case, the evacuation advisories came too late. The typhoon season is far from over this year so I think it's wise to bear in mind that heavy rain and strong winds can indeed be very dangerous -- especially if you live in a vulnerable area. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/08/21/national/hiroshima-slide-alert-said-tardy-toll-hits-39-search-missing-seven-continues/Hiroshima slide alert said tardy; toll hits 39 as search for missing seven continues | The Japan... 2014-08-21 22:21 JSTRKK's evening news show included a segment about halal food in Kumamoto last month.

"Kurashi" means "living" or "daily life" so the idea is to help non-Japanese who live in Kumamoto to learn practical Japanese they can use in daily life. There are many volunteers who help tutor. So, as I understand it, you can get individual help with specific issues you might face.
