In September of 1959, Typhoon Vera struck Japan, hard and fast and all-consuming. Though the storm had been accurately forecast and its path into Japan well estimated, lack of urgency from Japanese media combined with limited coverage of telecommunications greatly inhibited the country’s evacuation and disaster mitigation processes.

Flood defense systems in Honshu were destroyed by the force of the storm, in turn inundating coastal regions with unwieldy floodwaters. Vera, which grew to be a Category 5 equivalent storm, became one of the deadliest typhoons in Japanese history, causing more than 5,000 deaths, injuring over 35,000 people, and displacing another million or so.

The Japanese people and government had thought they were ready—Vera taught them otherwise. In her aftermath, the country’s disaster management and relief systems were significantly reformed and redeveloped.

In this photo, published by the Religious News Service, we see Church World Service workers stationed in Nagoya, “heart of the area devastated last September by Typhoon Vera which left 1,300,000 homeless. Long-term help is envisaged by relief and rehabilitation officials,” the caption tells us.

The title of the image is a line taken from Scripture—'…TO SHARE YOUR BREAD WITH THE HUNGRY' is from Isaiah 58:7. The full passage reads: “Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?”

Church World Service (CWS) was formed in 1946 in the aftermath of World War II, when seventeen denominations came together as a relief agency to provide support to communities in Europe and Asia that were affected by the war. The organization continues its work today; the Church World Service Records live at the Presbyterian Historical Society as RG529.

Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. They can catch us by surprise; they can come upon us all at once; they always leave destruction and distress in their wake. Which, if any, are you prepared for? As part of National Disaster Preparedness Month, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has collected resources that will help you make a plan for yourself, your family, your congregation and mid council.
