About evacuation behavior

Let's check the evacuation behavior in advance.

Consider the disaster risk around your home and the new coronavirus infection, and take appropriate evacuation actions.

Confirmation procedure for evacuation behavior

[Procedures 1]
Make sure your home is colored on a flood hazard map or landslide hazard map.
If there is no coloring at home, give priority to ensuring safety at home. If there is a color at home, proceed to [Procedure 2].

[Procedures 2]
There are four options for evacuation behavior. In evacuation sites, where an unspecified number of people may evacuate, there is also a risk of COVID-19 infection, so consider evacuation actions outside of the evacuation sites established by the government in advance.

Evacuation Action Options
	Evacuation behavior	Remarks
１	Evacuation and evacuation of safe relatives and acquaintances' homes	Let's consult with you on a daily basis. Also, make sure it is a safe place on the hazard map.
２	Evacuation and evacuation of safe hotels, inns, etc.	Normal accommodation fee is required. Let's make a reservation in advance.
３	Indoor safety	Check the three conditions on the hazard map, and if the following conditions are met, it is possible to ensure safety at home. 　[Condition 1]　　Not included in the expected flood area such as house collapse (confirmed on the flood hazard map) 　[Condition 2]　　You can move to a place higher than expected depth (such as the second floor of your home) 　[Condition 3]　　We can secure water, food, toilets, etc. in case of flooding. ※Prepare necessary items in advance in case of a power outage or water outage.
４	Evacuation and evacuation of the evacuation sites established by the government	In principle, supplies and food in evacuation sites must be brought by evacuees. When evacuating, bring necessary items such as masks and food. Before starting evacuation, be sure to check the status of evacuation sites on the website of the Izumi Ward Office.

Evacuation by car

When evacuating from your home to evacuation sites, which is established by the government, please evacuate on foot while considering safety.
It is possible to pick up and drop off people who have difficulty evacuating on their own by car. (However, parking is prohibited in principle, so please use a nearby coin parking etc.)
In addition, evacuation in a strong rain and wind is rather dangerous, so if indoor safety can be ensured, give priority to indoor safety.

Evacuation of pets

When evacuating with pets such as dogs and cats, be sure to put them in a cage and evacuate. If you don't have a cage, please contact Izumi Ward Office General Affairs Division before evacuation. （☎：045-800-2309）
In addition, in order to reduce the burden on pets as much as possible, consider using a pet hotel or evacuating to relatives and acquaintances' homes in advance.

※Pets that can be accepted at evacuation centers are dogs, cats, and other small animals (small birds, rabbits, hamsters, etc.).
※Specific animals (dangerous animals), animals designated as specific aliens, and similar animals, large animals, and animals requiring special breeding facilities cannot be accepted at evacuation centers for safety management.
