Preparation for prevention of damage to pipe houses and other facilities due to typhoon approach

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

1. Reinforcing the structure by installing reinforcement materials on the side, wives, and roofing materials. In addition, check for corrosion and rust, and that the fasteners are loosened, and perform necessary repairs.
2. Please clean up and clean the area around the house to prevent damage caused by flying objects. Check that the fuel tank, gas cylinder, etc. are firmly fixed.
3. Perform inspections and necessary repairs to prevent damage due to wind blow into the house due to damage or peeling of the coating material, damage to the entrance of the house, etc. At that time, carefully check the eaves, ridge, and wife surface of the house, as the wind speed fluctuates locally.
4. In strong winds, the coating material may swell due to pressure differences inside and outside the room, and may scatter. Also, if there is a risk of collapse, remove the coating material.

1. After passing the typhoon, check each part of the house and retighten the bolts of the structure.
2. Inspect materials such as coating materials, columns, and insect repellent nets, etc., and check the operation status immediately if there are environmental control devices or auxiliary light-related equipment.
3. After passing the typhoon, the temperature rises sharply due to strong sunlight and high temperature damage is likely to occur, so perform ventilation operation immediately. If a power outage occurs, take measures manually or by operating the emergency power supply.

Please also typhoon countermeasures for agricultural facilities (warehouses, etc.) in the same way.

In the event of severe agricultural damage due to weather disasters exceeding expectations such as large typhoons, support projects for affected farmers may be activated. If you wish to use it when the support project is activated, you will need a photo that shows the status of the facility before the disaster and a photo showing the status of the disaster after the disaster, so please record the state of the facility before the disaster .
If agricultural facilities or crops are damaged due to natural disasters such as typhoons, please record and save them with photos so that the affected facilities, their locations, size, etc. can be understood.
In addition, the staff of the agricultural administration office will check the extent of the disaster, so please keep it at a minimum to prevent secondary disaster and leave a situation where the degree of the disaster can be understood.

1. Please be sure to know the date of shooting.
   • Confirm that the date setting of the digital camera etc. is set correctly, and if it is misaligned, correct the date and time.
   • In the case of a digital camera with a date writing function, set it so that it can be copied to the image.
   • If there is no date writing function, the first photo should be photographed with the date printing part of the newspaper and the drawing paper with the date.
2. Please photograph the entire view of the affected facilities and agricultural machinery (overall photo) and the specific location of the damage.
   • Please also take photos that contain comparison objects such as people so that you can see the overall sense of scale.
   • If the whole view does not fit and becomes a continuous photo (joint photo), make sure that the overlapping position can be understood.
3. When shooting a specific location of the damage, (1) shooting in a distant view so that you can see where the damage location is located, and (2) a near view with a measure or nogis so that the size can be understood Please take a picture as a set.
   • When shooting a near-field, pay attention to the focus of focus so that the numbers can be readable.
   • Particularly photograph the spacing between arch pipes, spacing between columns, and diameter of the pipe.

If there is damage to agricultural facilities such as damage to facilities or 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 City and report to Kanagawa Prefecture.

Agricultural Mutual Aid is a public insurance system in which mutual aid is paid in the event of damage to crops, livestock, and horticultural facilities are damaged due to natural disasters. Special measures other than agricultural mutual aid are limited to the event of a massive weather disaster that has never been unprecedented in the past, so join the Agricultural Mutual Aid as a basic disaster countermeasure.
From January 2019, “Income Insurance” has begun to cover all agricultural products for farmers who have filed blue declarations to compensate for the decrease in income for all agricultural products, and various estimates can be made on the NOSAI Kanagawa website .

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