evacuation shelter has designated elementary and junior high schools as evacuation sites in the event of an earthquake.
Tsuzuki Ward   has 27 bases, and the Steering Committee of each site conducts evacuation shelter training for local residents to participate.
　Please join us as an opportunity to confirm the points of evacuation to an evacuation center (evacuation shelter).
In addition, please take this opportunity to check stockpiling at each home such as emergency take-out bags and prevention of furniture from falling and falling.
In order to minimize the damage caused by the earthquake, it is important for residents, communities, and the government to enhance disaster response capabilities and cooperate.
In order to protect yourself and your family from a disaster, it is important for each person to prepare in advance and make decisions and actions at the time of the disaster.
In addition, local communication is important on a daily basis in order for helping each other and evacuation shelter to function well.
　In the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in January 1995 and the Niigata-ken Chuetsu-oki Earthquake in July 2007, many people were rescued from collapsed houses that collapsed with the help of neighbors.
　In order to prepare for disasters, the Yokohama City Hall and Tsuzuki Ward   offices hope to further expand these efforts and improve local disaster prevention capabilities.

Each evacuation shelter provides training on the establishment and operation of evacuation centers. The schedule and content of the training are determined sequentially at each site.
　(Example) Base establishment training, gathering training, evacuees reception, information transmission training, rescue equipment handling training, living equipment handling training, supply of hot meals training, supplies acceptance and distribution training, emergency water supply training, measures for people requiring assistance, etc.
