Following heavy rains in mid-July, Tokai University announced support measures for students, including tuition fee reductions or exemptions for those in areas designated under the Disaster Relief Act. This assistance was coordinated with systems from the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO).

By early September, relief efforts expanded in response to Typhoon No. 24 and additional heavy rains. In addition to Tokai University’s continued financial assistance for students facing economic hardship, the Japan Post Group—comprising Japan Post Co., Ltd., Japan Post Bank, and Japan Post Insurance—implemented emergency special handling procedures for individuals in disaster-affected regions.
