Preparations for explosives and high-pressure gas related business sites associated with typhoons and heavy rains

Last Updated August 19, 2021

 In recent years, typhoons, heavy rains, and high tides have caused damage to explosives-related facilities and high-pressure gas-related facilities throughout the country.
 Even in Yokohama City, high-pressure gas containers flowed out of the premises of the business site due to the high tide caused by Typhoon No. 15, which was launched in September 2019, and a part of this is offshore.
There have been cases of spilling into the country, and there is concern that natural disasters such as typhoons and heavy guerrilla rain will occur in the future.
 Once the damage has occurred, it may have a significant impact not only on the affected offices, but also on the surrounding offices and residents.
 We ask all business establishments handling explosives and high-pressure gas to refer to the following examples of storm and flood damage countermeasures and promote further security management.
