designated emergency evacuation site

In the past, places to save lives from the dangers of imminent disasters and places to live in evacuation were not always clearly distinguished, which contributed to the spread of damage in Great East Japan Earthquake. For this reason, the Basic Law on Disaster Countermeasures was revised to designate "designated emergency evacuation site" to escape the dangers of an imminent disaster and "designated evacuation center" to live an evacuation life. Let's check evacuation sites, evacuation route and refuge in advance and prepare for disasters.
"designated emergency evacuation site" is a place to escape the dangers of an imminent disaster and specifies the type of disaster (Flood, landslide, mud slide, landslide, high tides earthquake) (which also serves as designated evacuation center). Yokohama City is selected from the evacuation shelter designated as designated evacuation center.
In addition, disaster type "tsunami" and "large-scale fire" are specified according to the following criteria.

"tsunami," The city is a tsunami evacuation facility ※Designated evacuation shelter among the facilities designated in 1
"Large-scale fire": Motoichi is evacuation area ※evacuation shelter specified in 2
※１About evacuation facilities in tsunami
※２About evacuation area

Since designated emergency evacuation site determines the establishment based on the scale and circumstances of the disaster, not all evacuation sites will be opened in the event of a disaster.
In addition to designated emergency evacuation site, evacuation sites may also open public facilities such as district centers and community care plazas and Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations Pavilion. When evacuating, check the evacuation information from the government (city homepage, Yokohama disaster prevention information e-mail, public relations vehicles, etc.).
