On the 4th, a post claiming to be from a public official working at the evacuation center of the apartment complex was uploaded on a real estate community. The poster, A, said, "Based on what the residents of the apartment complex are doing at the evacuation center, I believe no additional support beyond the current level is necessary."

According to A, some residents requested dog or cat food, and there were also requests to change the menu because the lunchboxes were not tasty. There were also requests for shower towels, body wash, smartphone chargers, and board games. A said,

"The evacuation center's supplies, facilities, and environment are determined according to the manual."

A especially explained, "This is an incident where damage occurred to private property on private land," and added, "From immediately after the incident, each building and the district office have voluntarily operated an emergency duty system, with building and district staff stationed at the evacuation center 24 hours a day."
