Evacuation in the event of an earthquake (confirmation of evacuation destinations, etc.)
Last Updated April 8, 2022
2.Do you know? evacuation sites during the earthquake
In order to protect one's life in the event of a large-scale earthquake, it is important to prevent danger, "reduce damage", check safe places and evacuation destinations in advance, and "know how to evacuate".
This page introduces appropriate evacuation in the event of an earthquake.
The difference between the evacuation sites and the shelter
evacuation sites evacuation centers have different objectives and roles depending on the type of disaster and the reasons for evacuation.
To avoid confusion immediately after a disaster, make sure that each person understands where to evacuate properly.

Evacuation Centers in evacuation sites
evacuation sites
This is a place to evacuate immediately after an earthquake to escape from dangers such as building collapse.
The disaster prevention organization in the town (Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations, etc.) has designated parks and vacant lots as evacuation sites in advance.
If it is dangerous to go to evacuation sites at once, check the surroundings in a less dangerous place.
In some cases, evacuation sites may be used to carry out safety confirmation and rescue operations for residents.

Places (parks, etc.) designated by the area arbitrarily |
evacuation area
This is a place to evacuate when the spread of fire spreads and there is danger due to the radiant heat and smoke of the fire if it stays there.
There is a low risk of fire spread, such as the former Fukaya Communication Zone and the Tozuka Country Club, and a large area where many residents can evacuate are designated.
No supplies such as drinking water are stockpiled because temporary stays are assumed to avoid dangers.

Designated shelter (evacuation shelter)
Designated evacuation shelters are places where those who cannot continue living at home due to building collapse etc. live for a certain period of time.
In Yokohama, municipal schools have been designated as designated evacuation centers, and the evacuation shelter has been designated as a base for collecting and distributing supplies and information to residents and a base for rescue operations by community support. (For more information about evacuation shelter, see the evacuation shelter page.)
In the case of Izumi Ward, evacuation shelter has designated 23 elementary and junior high schools (including the Hinatayama Support School in Seya Wardevacuation shelter) in each region.
※From April 1, 2022, evacuation shelter in the Ryokuen area was changed to "Ryokuen compulsory education School (Ryokuen Gakuen)". For details, please refer to "Changes in evacuation shelter in the Ryokuen Region (PDF: 324KB)".
Evacuation to evacuation shelter is for those who have lost their homes or who have difficulty living at home (such as those requiring assistance).
From the perspective of preventing infectious diseases, if your home is safe and you do not need to evacuate to evacuation shelter, make sure that you do not have to go to evacuation shelter on a daily basis.
※Even if you live at home, you can get information and relief supplies gathered in evacuation shelter by visiting evacuation shelter.

※In principle, evacuation and acceptance in the event of a disaster is in accordance with the pre-designated classification of each evacuation shelter, but evacuation and acceptance is also performed in other evacuation shelter depending on the damage situation.
※You can evacuate regardless of joining Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations.
※You cannot get into evacuation shelter by private car.
※The evacuation shelter will be opened and operated not only by the evacuation shelter Steering Committee but also by evacuees.
Welfare shelters
People who are unable to continue living at home (e.g. elderly people who need assistance in the disaster or those with disabilities) first evacuate to evacuation shelter and live with the support of others.
If it is still difficult to live in evacuation shelter due to special considerations or other circumstances, we will accept them at welfare shelters (social welfare facilities, etc.).
Because acceptance at welfare evacuation centers is performed at the discretion of the ward office based on the necessity and urgency, it is not possible to evacuate at your own request.
Please refer to the "Welfare Evacuation Center" page for a list of welfare evacuation centers.
※Please note that residents are not allowed to evacuate directly.
