About evacuation sites during storm and flood damage

Evacuation is "evacuation" from "difficult" and ensuring safety. Going to evacuation sites is not the only evacuation action.
If you can ensure safety at home in the event of a disaster, please try to evacuate at home, such as vertical evacuation. People in a safe place don't have to go to evacuation sites. Consider evacuation behavior and evacuation sites in advance, such as evacuation sites, not only the evacuation sites established by the government but also safe relatives and friends' homes.
