Opening of evacuation sites when a typhoon approaches
Based on the Boso Peninsula Typhoon (Typhoon No. 15) and the East Japan Typhoon (Typhoon No. 15) in fiscal 2019, we have established a basic policy for openingevacuation sites inKanagawa Ward when a typhoon approaches.

Basic Policy on Establishment of evacuation sites
In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, those living in the inundation area should consider evacuation outside of evacuation sites, such as evacuating to relatives' homes before the typhoon approaches. In addition, when evacuating to the evacuation sites established by the ward office, please take necessary measures against infectious diseases such as bringing a mask.
If you are not living in the inundation area, please evacuate indoors or vertically at home.
In addition, about evacuation sites established by ward office, we establish evacuation sites in three patterns and operate by ward staff.
