About opening of evacuation sites when typhoon approaches
Based on the Boso Peninsula Typhoon (Typhoon No. 15) and the East Japan Typhoon (Typhoon No. 19) in fiscal 2019, we have established a basic policy for opening the evacuation sites when a typhoon approaches in Kanagawa Ward.
Last Updated April 1, 2021
Basic Policy on the Establishment of evacuation sites
To prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection, residents living in inundation areas should consider evacuation outside of evacuation sites, such as evacuating to relatives' homes before the typhoon approaches. In addition, when evacuating to evacuation sites, which is 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 evacuate vertically at home.
As for the evacuation sites, which is established by the ward office, the evacuation sites will be divided into three patterns and operated by ward staff.
