About distribution of "help card"
To prevent consumer damage to elderly people who are worried about an increase due to the aging of society, a "help card (cooling-off version)" that describes the contact information of the Yokohama City Consumer Affairs Center (hereinafter referred to as the "Center") Was created in 2016. This card is distributed to the elderly from the Yokohama City Consumer Affairs Promotion Members, the Yokohama City Elderly Club Federation Friendship Activity Members, Neighborhood Association / Neighborhood Associations, local welfare officers and children's committees, etc. We connect the center with the elderly who are in need of damage and use them for watching activities in the community so that they can easily consult.
