Recommendation for Home Evacuation
Last Updated October 10, 2024
Do you think "I have to go to an evacuation center if a disaster occurs"?
An evacuation center is a place where you can live an evacuation life when your home is damaged due to an earthquake or the like and cannot live.
In Yokohama, it is called "evacuation shelter (designated evacuation center)".
What is evacuation shelter?
Living in evacuation shelter in the event of a disaster is only one option.
If you can confirm the safety of your home and its surroundings, consider evacuation at home.
In the Noto earthquake that occurred on January 1, 2024, aftershocks with a seismic intensity of less than 5 occurred many times.
In some cases, a house that did not collapse in the main shock collapsed due to the aftershocks.
Even if you are evacuating at home, if you feel danger of collapse of your home, evacuate to evacuation shelter.
What are the benefits of "evacuation at home"?
Oh You can live in a familiar home with your family in a familiar environment!
Oh It also protects privacy, so you can reduce stress!
Oh Pets can be together in the same environment as usual!
Oh It can reduce the risk of infection!
⇒It also leads to regaining daily life as soon as possible, and there are many benefits!
What is needed to "evacuate at home"?
Let's keep stockpiling on a regular basis
In order to live a disaster-affected life at home, food and food at home on a daily basis.
It is important to have at least three days of daily necessities (preferably one week).
Make the necessary stockpiling according to your family structure, such as gender, age, and pet of your family.
We recommend "rolling stock", which stores a lot of stock and uses it in daily life and replenishes the reduced amount!
