Preparing for Disasters-How to Evacuate

First, go to a safe place nearby
If a major earthquake occurs, evacuate not only to designated elementary and junior high schools, but also to a large and safe place such as nearby schools, parks, and vacant lots. For that purpose, let's decide where to evacuate in advance with your family.

If there is a danger of your home collapse or collapse, evacuate to the designated elementary and junior high school. In evacuation sites, we have supplies necessary for evacuation. Goods can be received at evacuation shelter other than those specified. If your home building is not at risk of fire or collapse, you do not need to evacuate to evacuation shelter.

If the evacuated elementary and junior high schools, parks, vacant lots, etc. are likely to be dangerous due to the spread of fires in the vicinity, they will be evacuated to evacuation area. Let's check the safe route to evacuation area.

This is a place where local residents gather to temporarily evacuate to evacuation area or evacuation shelter to check the disaster situation and to evacuate to evacuation sites etc. according to the situation. Let's decide the meeting place in the area on a daily basis in preparation for a disaster.
