About evacuation sites, which is opened in the event of a typhoon or heavy rain

　In Yokohama City, we have identified cliffs that could cause significant damage to houses in the event of a landslide, and have selected "Immediate evacuation warning Areas" that will simultaneously issue evacuation warning along with the announcement of the landslide alert information.

　If landslide alert information is announced in the northern part of Yokohama, the Tsurumi Ward Office will issue a evacuation warning and open four evacuation sites locations to help those living in the target area evacuate.

①　Sueyoshi District Center (2-16-16 Kamisueyoshi)
②　2nd floor of Kishiya Park Meeting House (3-20-25 Kishitani)
③　Terao Community Care Plaza (6-37-14 Tojio)
④　Shishigaya community hall (1-18-53 Shishigaya)

※1 Pets cannot be evacuated.
※24 Shishigaya community hall may not be opened depending on the disaster situation.

　In Tsurumi Ward, 31 elementary and junior high schools are designated as evacuation sites during storms and floods.
If flooding of the Tama River and Tsurumi River is expected, we will give priority to elementary and junior high schools in the Tsurumi River basin and designate them as evacuation sites to establish an evacuation system.　
　At the time of flood assumption, the following 21 elementary and junior high schools will be opened sequentially with priority.

〇 Precautions for Evacuation

• 　In principle, evacuate on foot if a evacuation warning is issued or you feel danger in the area where your home is located.
• 　However, evacuation after the weather is intensified is very dangerous. Let's try to evacuate as soon as possible.
• 　If evacuation is difficult, switch to vertical evacuation, such as spending time on the second floor or higher of the house.
• 　How to evacuate depends on the local environment and family structure, so it is important to check and plan various hazard map (https://www.city.yokohama.lg.jp/tsurumi/kurashi/bosai_bohan/saigai/map/) from normal times. When planning, please also use the My Timeline Creation Sheet (https://www.city.yokohama.lg.jp/kurashi/bousai-kyukyu-bohan/bousai-saigai/wagaya/timeline.html).

〇 Evacuation with pets

• Temporary breeding places for pets in evacuation sites during storms and floods are separate from human evacuation spaces.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　(Temporary breeding places vary from school to school.)
• At the designated breeding place, the cage prepared by the owner will be placed.
• Please note that even in a covered area, wind and rain may be affected depending on the situation.
• In addition, please prepare equipment other than cages necessary for temporary breeding (pet food, etc.) as necessary.
