Distribution of disinfectants in sanitary measures in the event of floods

If the road surface is flooded due to heavy rain, the sewer may flow back. If a house is flooded while the road surface is flooded, disinfection work may be required because sewage may be mixed into rainwater from the sewer.
Tozuka Health and Welfare Center provides consultation on the necessity of disinfection in the event of flooding and appropriate disinfection methods.

• In some cases, cleaning with tap water alone is sufficient, such as when flooded with rainwater only.
• Before disinfecting, wash the area thoroughly in advance and remove dirt. Unless it is washed, the effect of the disinfectant is not fully demonstrated.
• Please purchase disinfectant at your local pharmacy. Please refer to "Yokohama-shi epidemic prevention measures representative communication pharmacy (general corporate judicial person Yokohama-shi pharmacist society)" about cooperation pharmacies which we can purchase.
