Prepare for heavy rains and typhoons
Last updated on September 1, 2020.
１．Daily preparation-Preparation in case of emergency
Let's check the situation around hazard map!
・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.
[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.
Let's check the items to be taken out during evacuation!
・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.)
Let's work together to protect our town!
・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.

Let's be careful about the condition of the cliff!
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.
Let's try to evacuate safely without overdoing it!
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.
Let's evacuate on a safe route!
・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.

voluntary evacuation
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.
４．In addition to the announcement of the landslide alert information, evacuation warning will be issued all at once (the immediate evacuation warning area)
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 landslide alert information immediatelyevacuation warning to the surrounding area.
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.
