Support for advocate in case of disaster

In the event of a major disaster, some people find it difficult to evacuate on their own.

In the event of such a disaster, people in advocate need assistance from those around them in case of emergency.

The ward office can provide local supporters with a list of advocate, which is owned by the government, to help support advocate in the event of a local disaster.

Let's talk about how to support the advocate in the community.

●○●What is advocate in case of disaster?●○●

・It is said that those who need assistance in taking a series of actions in the event of a disaster, such as evacuating to a safe place, in order to quickly and accurately grasp the necessary information and protect themselves from disasters.

・In general, the elderly, disabled, infants, pregnant women, foreigners, etc.

・Based on the Basic Act on Disaster Countermeasures, Yokohama City has created a list of advocate for those who need assistance in evacuation activities in the event of a disaster.

●○●Why do you need assistance?●○●

In the past large-scale disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake, there were many people who needed assistance.

On the other hand, many trapped people, such as buildings, were rescued by helping each other.

In the event of a disaster, everyone could be affected, while they could go toadvocate.

In order to minimize the damage caused by disasters, it is necessary to create a daily face-to-face relationship in the area and create a supportive mechanism.

●○●What are the activities performed by the community?●○●

In normal times, watch over and call out, and create a relationship where you can see your face from normal times.

In the event of a disaster, call out to safety confirmation and share that information locally.

Also, if there is a advocate that needs evacuation, provide evacuation support as much as possible.

The support of the advocate in need of disaster is not entirely borne by individuals. Consider supporting the extent possible throughout the region (such as contacting evacuation shelter or rescue squads).

In Asahi Ward, we will continue to provide a list of advocate needed in the event of a disaster, centered on the Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations. Specifically, it is as follows.

The ward office can provide a list of advocate requiring disasters created by the "new consent method" based on the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Law and the "information sharing method" based on the Yokohama City Ordinance.

In addition, based on the "new consent method" and "information sharing method", a questionnaire that expanded the target audience in the region (eg, infants, pregnant women, etc.) and expanded the information collected, etc. There is also a "completion method" to create.

The list of "New Consent Method" lists information of those who have agreed to post them on the list of advocate in case of disaster.

[Flow of Provision of Lists]

The “Completion Method” list is a method that expands the target person and the information collected, such as conducting a regional questionnaire, and complements the list of advocate in need of disaster provided by the ward.

[Flow of Provision of Lists]

The "Information Sharing Method" list contains information excluding those who refuse to be posted on the advocate list in case of disaster.

The District Union Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations and the ward office have concluded an agreement and have compiled a guide to the procedures for receiving the list of advocate in case of disaster.
