Preparation for prevention of damage to pipe houses, etc. due to the approach of a typhoon

In recent years, a large typhoon has caused many agricultural damage in Yokohama City, which has had a major impact on farmers' farming. We understand that sufficient measures have already been taken, but please confirm again the measures and measures when a typhoon approaches.
In the event of a storm or abnormal flood, give priority to human life and strive to prevent secondary disaster.

1. Outdoor activities during storms and strong winds are very dangerous. The precautionary measures should be completed before the wind becomes strong. Please keep a picture of the facility on a daily basis.
2. Install reinforcement materials on the sides, wives, and roofing materials to strengthen the structure. In addition, check for corrosion and rust, and for loose fittings, etc., and perform necessary repairs.
3. Clean up and clean the area around the house to prevent damage from flying objects. Check that fuel tanks, gas cylinders, etc. are securely fixed.
4. In order to prevent damage from blowing wind into the house due to damage or peeling of the coating material, damage to the entrance of the house, etc., perform inspections and necessary repairs. At that time, carefully check the eaves, buildings, and wife surfaces of the house, as wind speed fluctuations will increase locally.
5. In strong winds, the coating material may swell and scatter due to the pressure difference inside and outside the room, so try to reduce pressure using a ventilation fan. Also, if there is a risk of collapse, remove the coating material.

1. After passing the typhoon, check each part of the house and re-tighten the bolts of the structure.
2. Inspect materials such as coating materials, pillars, insect repellent nets, etc., and check the operation status immediately if there are environmental control devices or lighting-related equipment.
3. After passing the typhoon, the temperature rises sharply due to strong solar radiation and high temperature damage is likely to occur, so perform ventilation operation immediately. In the event of a power outage, take measures manually or by operating an emergency power supply.

For cultivation facilities (nets and shelves), covering materials, and agricultural facilities (warehouses, etc.), please take measures against typhoons in the same way.

In the event that severe agricultural damage occurs due to a weather disaster that exceeds expectations such as a large typhoon, a support project for the affected farmers may be activated. If you wish to use it when the support project is activated, you will need a photo showing the status of the facility before the disaster and a photo showing the status of the disaster after the disaster, so please record the status of the facility before the disaster .
If a natural disaster such as a typhoon causes damage to agricultural facilities or crops, please record and save photos so that you can understand the affected facilities, their locations, sizes, etc.
In addition, the staff of the Agricultural Administration Office will confirm the extent of the disaster, so please keep a minimum cleanup to prevent the secondary disaster and leave a situation where you can understand the extent of the disaster.

1. Make sure you know the date of shooting.
   • Make sure that the date setting of the digital camera etc. is set correctly, and if it is out, fix it to the correct date and time.
   • In the case of a digital camera with a date writing function, set it to copy it to the image.
   • If you do not have the date writing function, the first photo should include the date printed part of the newspaper or a drawing paper describing the date.
2. Take a full view of the affected facilities and agricultural machinery (whole photo) and the specific damage location.
   • Take photos with comparison targets such as people so that you can understand the overall sense of scale.
   • If the whole view becomes a continuous photo (joint photo) without being able to fit, make sure that the overlapping position is known.
3. When shooting a specific location of the damage, (1) shoot in a distant view so that you can see where the damage location is in the whole, and (2) take a near view with a measure or knogis so that you can understand the size Please take a picture as a set.
   • When shooting a foreground, pay attention to the focus and make sure that the numerical values can be read.
   • Specially photograph the distance between the arch pipe, the distance between the columns, the diameter of the pipe, etc.

If there is damage to agricultural facilities such as damage to facilities or damage to products due to weather disasters such as typhoons, please contact the agricultural administration office in charge of your area. We summarize the damage situation in the city in Yokohama-shi and report to Kanagawa.

Agricultural Mutual Aid is a public insurance system in which a mutual aid is paid in the event of damage to crops, livestock, or horticultural facilities due to natural disasters. Special measures other than agricultural mutual aid are limited to the event of a major weather disaster unprecedented in the past, so join the agricultural mutual aid as a basic disaster countermeasure.
From January 2019, "Income Insurance" has been started for farmers who have filed blue declarations to compensate for the decrease in income for all agricultural products, and NOSAI Kanagawa (Kanagawa Prefectural Agricultural Mutual Aid Association) ) You can also make various calculations on the homepage.

For more information about agricultural mutual aid and income insurance systems, please contact NOSAI Kanagawa.
