Prepare for heavy rains and typhoons

・Make sure there are no cliffs near your home (hazard map landslide)
・Make sure that there is no risk of flooding near your home. (Inundated hazard map)
・Let's check the evacuation route from home to refuge on a map.
・Going to evacuation sites is not the only evacuation action. Consider evacuation behavior and evacuation sites in advance, such as keeping safe relatives, friends' homes and hotels in evacuation sites.
[Be careful when thinking about evacuation route]
・Check multiple evacuation routes so that you can evacuate to two or more evacuation centers.
・Avoid roads that could be flooded by heavy rain or closed by landslide.

・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.)
・Prepare masks, alcohol, thermometers, etc. as a countermeasure against infectious diseases.

・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.

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.

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.

・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.

In Yokohama City, when communicating evacuation warning, etc. to citizens, the following means are used.

・Information provision via the “Homepage”
evacuation warning and others will be distributed through the Midori Ward website.
・Information provision by public relations vehicles, etc.
Depending on the situation, we will carry out calls by public relations vehicles and fire trucks.

As for landslide, there are many cases where there is no time to spare from precursors to collapse, so if you find unusual precursors, please start voluntary evacuation immediately without waiting for evacuation warning.

Based on the lessons learned from Typhoon No. 18 in October 2014, Yokohama City decided to extract cliffs that could cause significant damage to houses in the event of a landslide, and to issue the evacuation warning along with the announcement of the landslide alert information.
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, be aware of the disaster prevention information and take evacuation actions at your own discretion.
Areas subject to evacuation warning and selection criteria are as follows:
◇List of target areas (list of text format and map)
