Public information Yokohama Minami Ward version, disaster prevention special feature summary

In order to protect yourself from heavy rains and typhoons, it is important to collect information.
Heavy rain and typhoons can be expected to some extent when, where and how strong they occur.
Use weather forecasts such as "warning" and "Alarms" to ensure early safety.

It has been 100 years since the Great Kanto Earthquake, which caused enormous damage to a wide area, mainly in Kanagawa and Tokyo. I don't know when an earthquake will occur.
Think about "what can happen" and "what can be done now" and prepare to save your life.

Heavy rain can cause disasters such as landslides and flooding near cliffs and places with low land. Check the disaster prevention map and hazard map, and check the disaster risk in your area.

When an earthquake occurs, do you think, "You should evacuate to evacuation shelter!" evacuation shelter is a place where people who are unable to live at home due to fire caused by an earthquake or collapse of houses can evacuate. Mainly, we use elementary and junior high school gymnasiums, etc., and the environment is limited, so those who are safe at home should live an evacuation life (evacuation at home) at home.

Think about your own evacuation behavior according to your alert level.
Following the revision of the Basic Law on Disaster Countermeasures, the evacuation warning was abolished on May 20 and integrated into evacuation warning. When evacuation warning leaves, let's evacuate everyone from dangerous places.

Everybody becomes survivors in the event of a disaster. It is necessary to protect one's life and help each other in the community. First of all, why don't you start with what you can do?

First of all, let's check if your home is safe!
Even those who are in a safe place don't have to go to evacuation sites.

When living at home becomes difficult, such as when a major earthquake occurs and your home breaks down, do you know where to live an evacuation life?
In Yokohama City, local elementary and junior high schools are designated as evacuation shelter, and emergency storage facilities are installed and disaster prevention equipment and foodstuffs are stored.
