Japanese politicians are really stupid. However, the citizen knows it enough. So, they control ourselves in emergency. 1 year passes from East Japan big earthquake disaster soon. The trial to simulate the administration of the refuge using a card game is carried out now in Tohoku.

This city is the country which is located in the northeast in Japan(Tohoku) and desolate very much. However, the local government and the citizen use the social media. The Yokote city government office started the examination use of the Facebook page today.

A period is till the end of March. It is too short and too careful. However, in Japan, that a local government uses Facebook is rare(IT literacy of a Japanese government is very low). Of course I stick up for them challenge. And I wish they learn more about Facebook.

By the way, There is the pioneer of this trial in Japan. That is Takeo city, Saga Prefecture. They shifted to the Facebook page in city's website. The mayor of Takeo city is the chairperson of Japanese Twitter society.
