Toilet measures in the event of a disaster

When a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake occurs, pipes such as water and sewage and buildings may be damaged. If pipes are damaged, the water supply will not be usable and toilets will not be usable. Toilet measures are as important as stockpiling food and drinks, so let's proceed with efforts such as stockpiling toilet packs.

※At the Isogo Ward Office, in the event of an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 5 or more, check the pipes, etc., prohibit the use of toilets in flushing until it is confirmed that there is no abnormality, and use them in a toilet pack (coagulant). You will. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

As a measure against toilets in the event of an earthquake, Yokohama City has developed a temporary toilet (commonly known as Hamacco Toilet for Disasters) that is directly connected to sewage during disasters, mainly in evacuation shelter. In Isogo Ward, along with 21 evacuation shelter, the Isogo Ward Office has a toilet for disaster use.

Information created by Sewer Management Division, Environmental Planning Bureau Sewer Pipeline Department. You can check the features and installation videos of Hamakko toilets for disasters.
