About making of individual evacuation plan in 2023
Last update date April 1, 2024
What is an individual evacuation plan?
For each person who needs assistance in evacuation in the event of a disaster, decide in advance "where to evacuate" and "who will provide evacuation support" so that evacuation support can be provided smoothly when a disaster occurs. Is what you do.
Background of Initiatives
Of the total deaths caused by storms and floods in recent years, approximately 65% of the total deaths in Typhoon No. 19 in FY2019 and about 79% in heavy rains in July 2020 were elderly people aged 65 or older. In addition, there were many cases where people with disabilities were affected.
Based on this, the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Law was revised in May 2021, and it became the duty of municipalities to make an individual evacuation plan.
Initiatives in FY2023
Persons requiring assistance in the event of a disaster living in a flood inundation area, etc. (Those who need some help, such as elderly people, disabled people, infants, injured, foreigners, etc. ), extracted from physical conditions such as the degree of nursing care required, etc., and with the cooperation of welfare professionals such as care managers and planning counselors, we worked to confirm the situation and create in parallel.
