If you are trapped in a crowded summer train ... The country will go to an emergency meeting on August 8 at 17:11 on the Keisei blackout
All passengers were evacuated 2 hours after the power failure.
On the 6th, a train stopped between the stations due to the blackout on the Keisei Main Line, and several passengers were transported to the hospital on suspicion of heat stroke. Evacuation guidance when trapped in a train became an issue.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will hold an emergency meeting with railway operators in the Tokyo metropolitan area on the 9th to confirm the status of measures taken by each company.
Evacuation guidance for passengers as an issue
On the 6th, the Keisei Main Line lost power due to the failure of a substation equipment in Aoto, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo, and several passengers trapped in a train stopped between stations were transported to the hospital on the suspicion of heat stroke it was done.
In response, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will hold an emergency meeting for railway operators in the Tokyo metropolitan area on the 9th and confirm the measures for passenger evacuation guidance that each company has compiled.
With regard to evacuation guidance from trains, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism deployed ladders necessary for getting off to train operators nationwide on trains and stations because many passengers were trapped in the earthquake in northern Osaka in June last year. In addition, not only drivers and conductors, but also passengers helped to get out of the vehicle, and informed them to take measures to ensure that passengers get off as soon as possible.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism says, “I would like to give thorough guidance to prevent trouble next summer when the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics are held.”
