Social Activities Insurance

This is a system in which Yokohama City pays insurance premiums in advance and contracts with insurance companies so that volunteer activities can carry out activities with peace of mind.
You do not need to register in advance.
In the unlikely event that an accident occurs, you will need to report in writing the details of your daily activities and the status of the accident.
(In the “Accident Report,” the names of third parties other than family members who can prove the accident or activity, such as Address, etc.)
If you can confirm that you meet the requirements for Yokohama City Social Activities Insurance, you will be paid.

In some cases, it may lead to serious problems with aftereffects.
Even in your usual activities, make sure that there are no dangerous places or work, and do not overdo it.
In addition, let's prevent heat stroke by frequent hydration, both indoors and outdoors. (Heat stroke is not covered by insurance)
