Disaster prevention measures in Yokohama City

Since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake that occurred in January 1995, the city has made this earthquake a valuable lesson and based on the belief that "the most important thing for the government is to ensure the safety of citizens' lives and property." Based on this, we have reviewed earthquake countermeasures from a practical point of view.

The first review in April 1995 was designated by evacuation shelter. In the same year, the evacuation shelter established a stockpile for disaster prevention at elementary and junior high schools designated as evacuation shelter. In addition to supplies such as saws, bars, jacks, and engine cutters to save lives, as well as food such as dry bread and canned water. We maintained 459 locations by the end of FY2016.

In the event of a large-scale earthquake such as the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, together with the activities of fire brigades and rescue squads, disaster prevention activities, especially through the mutual cooperation of citizens living in the area, are indispensable. .

In order to be able to carry out effective activities in an emergency, preparation and training are required on a daily basis. Please always have the feeling of "protecting yourself with your own hands and protecting everyone's area with everyone" and always prepare for disasters. .
