In Tokyo's Setagaya Ward, where houses along the river were flooded by typhoons last year, an information session was held for residents about future measures.
In October last year, Typhoon No. 19 in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward caused the water level of the Tama River to rise, flooding the river with water from a section without an embankment, and the surrounding houses were inundated.
Setagaya Ward held a briefing session for residents about measures against future storm and flood damage on the 19th, and Mr. Nobuto Hosaka, the head of the ward, said, "This is an unusual situation where heavy rains continue to occur mainly in the Kyushu region. I want to be vigilant."
After this, the person in charge of the ward revised the flood hazard map and distributed it to all households this September, strengthening the system to quickly operate the locks along the Tama River, and as a shelter. I explained how to increase the number of places that can be utilized and take measures to prevent crowding.
Residents who participated asked questions about "inland water flooding" where the drainage from the sewers to the river could not be made in time or could flow backwards, causing water to overflow in the city. The verification committee is considering measures.”
A man in his 80s who had evacuated to an evacuation center due to a typhoon last year said, "I'm worried about the typhoon season. I'd like to not only distribute the hazard map but also give more details about the idea of evacuation."
