About welfare refuge (special evacuation sites)
For those who have difficulty evacuating at evacuation shelter or at home in the event of a large-scale disaster, Yokohama has concluded agreements with social welfare facilities in the city and positioned it as a special evacuation sites.
From April 2018, the name will be changed to "welfare shelter" widely used throughout the country.
What is the Welfare refuge (Special evacuation sites)?
If a large-scale disaster causes enormous damage and you are unable to live at home, you will have to live in evacuation shelter, such as elementary schools and junior high schools.
For elderly people, children with disabilities, disabled people, pregnant women, infants and other advocate, those who have difficulty in evacuation at gymnasiums, etc., each evacuation shelter will secure space for advocate.
→Nevertheless, welfare refuge is a secondary refuge to accommodate those who find it difficult to evacuate in evacuation shelter.
Evacuation to Welfare refuge
Those who have difficulty maintaining their lives at evacuation shelter or at home and need special care.
Professionals (public health nurses) check the situation of the individual and whether they are certified as requiring nursing care, and determine the necessity of evacuation to the welfare refuge.
In order for the welfare refuge to fulfill the necessary functions and roles, those who are not considered eligible cannot evacuate.
Welfare refuge is not always established immediately after a disaster.
In principle, travel from evacuation shelter must be done by the person or family.

In the event of a large-scale disaster, those who have been certified as requiring long-term care by The Long-term Care Insurance, who have difficulty living at evacuation shelter or at home and need assistance from facility staff may be accepted by emergency admission at nursing homes.
It is social welfare facilities such as facilities for the elderly, facilities for the disabled, and community care plazas that have concluded agreements with the ward office.
We can provide assistance to the extent possible, depending on the conditions of the facilities, in an environment where advocate needs to live easily, such as barrier-free facilities.
Even in the welfare refuge, you will have to work with the surrounding refugee to live an evacuation life while helping each other.
Welfare refuge is not always established immediately after a disaster.
The ward office requests the establishment sequentially from facilities that have been confirmed and have been prepared for operation.
In order to make effective use of limited resources, it is necessary to identify the situation in advocate after the disaster and evacuate from those with higher priority.
Since the facilities that serve as welfare refuge are limited, it is difficult to accept all eligible advocate at once.
Professionals (public health nurses) judge those who have evacuated to evacuation shelter (or from information on advocate collected in evacuation shelter) who need more support.
Based on the judgment of professionals, etc., the ward office decides who to accept at which welfare evacuation center.
