Prepare for heavy rains and typhoons
Last Updated September 1, 2020
１．Daily preparation-Preparation in case of emergency
Let's check the familiar situation on the hazard map!
・Check that there is no cliff near your home (earth and sand disaster hazard map)
・Make sure that there is no risk of flooding near your home. (Inundation Hazard Map)
・Check the evacuation route from your home to the evacuation center on the map.
[Be careful when considering evacuation routes]
・Check multiple evacuation routes so that you can evacuate to two or more evacuation centers.
・Avoid roads that may be closed due to flooding due to heavy rain or landslides.
Let's check the items to be taken out during evacuation!
・Prepare items to be taken out during evacuation on a daily basis so that you can take them out immediately.
・Let's keep the items to the minimum necessary. (Radio, drinking water, flashlights, pharmaceuticals, baby supplies, etc.)
Let's work together to protect our town!
・In the event of an emergency, cherish your relationship with your neighbors on a daily basis so that you can help each other.
・Create a system that can cooperate in the community in order to protect the safety of people who are difficult to respond flexibly, such as evacuation behavior in the event of a disaster due to disability or elderly people.
・Let's talk about the cooperation system in the event of a disaster with nearby social welfare facilities in the community on a daily basis.
・disaster drill, evacuation drill, and lectures will be held to acquire knowledge about disaster prevention.
・If evacuation warning or the like comes out, call out to the neighborhood and take the initiative in evacuating.

２．When it rains~ Let's be careful about this point
Let's try to collect information frequently on your own!
Please check the information frequently on the Japan Meteorological Agency website and the Yokohama City website.
・Japan Meteorological Agency website (weather information) (outside site)
・Yokohama City Disaster Prevention Information
Be especially careful if you receive earth and sand disaster warning information.
If there is a power outage
Tokyo Electric Power Grid Co., Ltd.
Telephone: 0120-995-007 (Reception 24 hours a day)

Let's be careful about the condition of the cliff!
A phenomenon of a landslide
・Pebbles fall from the cliff.
・New spring water is generated on the slope.
・The spring water is muddy.
・There is a crack on the slope.
If there is such a precursory phenomenon, take evacuation action as soon as possible.
In addition, there may be no time from the occurrence of a precursory phenomenon to the occurrence of a landslide, or there may be no precursory phenomenon and a landslide may occur.
If you feel danger, take early evacuation actions.
Let's try to evacuate safely without overdoing it!
When evacuating, wear comfortable clothes and try to act with two or more people.
If the surroundings are dark and the flooding has already begun, do not force yourself to go out and stay in a high place where you can secure safety, such as the second floor of your home.
Let's evacuate on a safe route!
・At the time of evacuation, avoid roads along rivers and cliffs and underground roads.
・Heavy rain may cause gutters and manholes on the road to come off, so be careful not to approach them.

For sediment-related disasters,voluntary evacuation should be immediately started without waiting forevacuation warning, etc., if a different precursor is confirmed.
４．Areas subject to simultaneous issuance of evacuation warning along with the announcement of "Earthquake Disaster Warning Information" (Immediate evacuation warning)
Based on the lessons learned from Typhoon No. 18 in October 2014, Yokohama City has decided to issue an immediate evacuation warning, along with the announcement of "Earthquake Disaster Warning Information" to the surrounding areas.
It does not mean that the area where evacuation warning has not been issued is safe. In the event of a heavy rain or typhoon, pay attention to disaster prevention information and take evacuation actions as soon as possible at your own discretion.
Areas subject to evacuation warning and selection criteria are as follows:
