Why don't you evacuate to your home? ～
Last Updated January 17, 2024
Don't 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.
It is called "evacuation shelter (designated shelter)" in Yokohama.
What is evacuation shelter?
When a disaster strikes, living in evacuation shelter is just 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 5 or less occurred many times.
In some cases, houses that did not collapse in the main shock collapsed due to the aftershocks.
Even if you are evacuating at home, if you feel danger such as collapse of your home, evacuate to evacuation shelter.
What are the benefits of "home evacuation"?
Oh You can live in a familiar environment with your family in a familiar home!
Oh You can also protect your privacy, so stress can be reduced!
Oh Pets can stay with you in the same environment as usual!
Oh You can reduce the risk of infectious diseases!
⇒It also leads to regaining everyday life as soon as possible, and there are many benefits!
What do I need to do to "evacuate at home"?
Let's stock up on a regular basis.
In order to live a disaster-affected life at home, it is necessary to use food and food at home on a daily basis.
It is important to have at least 3 days of daily necessities (preferably for one week).
Make necessary stockpiling according to your family structure, such as your family's gender, age and pet.
We recommend "rolling stock", which stores a lot more and use it in daily life and replenishes the reduced amount while using it in daily life!
