My own university, Kumamoto Gakuen University, accepted disable evacuees. I need to ask, though, to find out if that was part of the original plan or if the decision to do so was made after the quakes hit. As I wrote before, the International Center was not intended to be an evacuation site but became one as a response to conditions after the quakes. It’s hard to foresee everything but the author of the article writes that officials in Kumamoto could have paid better attention to the lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011.
