Major disasters are a frequent occurrence within Japan and internationally. In April 2016, five years after the unprecedented disaster of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, the Kumamoto earthquake struck Japan. The response brought people together, creating new connections and solidarity. Examples include aid and support in times of disaster, reconstruction support, and activities that commemorate the disaster, as well as structures developed for self-help, cooperation, and aid provided by public bodies in preparation for the Tokai and Nankai megathrust earthquakes predicted to strike Japan in the future. It is clear that religious activities in the affected areas demonstrated strength as a type of local resource. Based on a discussion of the behavioral guidelines for “Disaster Prevention and Religion” (learn about disaster, prepare for disaster, provide support in times of disaster, work towards disaster recovery, and expand the circle of cooperation), this paper examines the responses of religious people to the Kumamoto earthquake.
