This second newsletter from earlier this month gives an update to their work. I would especially recommend the first two articles. the first one gives an overview of the first phases of response and the second a field report from Fumitaka Sato. <\/p>\n<p>The point that stuck with me from the field report were that besides decreased populations in hard hit areas, cities were also dealing with the issue of shifting demographics as younger people choose to leave and older adults, to stay. It was an issue I had not heard before and one I hadn&#8217;t thought about and gave me pause. <\/p>\n<p>So give it a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jler.org\/JLERnews2.pdf\">read<\/a> and let us know what you think.
