In the earthquake in northern Osaka Prefecture in June 2018, the collapse of the block wall caused human life-threatening damage. In response to this, Yokohama City subsidizes a part of the improvement work costs such as concrete block walls throughout the city from the viewpoint of preventing damage to pedestrians in the event of an earthquake.
It is necessary to consult in advance before applying for a subsidy grant, and to receive a response after field surveys. It takes about two months from the application for advance consultation to the answer, so please be careful if you are considering applying for a subsidy.
