Oblon would like to express its deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to all those who were affected by 2018 Japan floods. This was the deadliest freshwater flood-related disaster in Japan since the 1982 Nagasaki Flood. To show our support we have made a donation to The Japanese Red Cross Society, to assist in funding relief for all those who have been affected.
The Japanese Red Cross Society provides teams of medical personnel, and erects clinics throughout the evacuation zones. “By making this donation, Oblon hopes to fund the distribution of relief supplies and medical assistance throughout the evacuation centers,” said Philippe Signore, Managing Partner.
