"Options other than evacuation shelters" Evacuation recommendations to avoid the risk of new corona infection May 16 5:24
Before the time of heavy rainfall, the Japan Society for Disaster Information announced its evacuation recommendations. In order to avoid the risk of being infected with the new coronavirus at evacuation shelters, we are calling for evacuation at locations other than shelters, such as evacuation at home and the use of hotels.
According to a proposal released by the Japan Society for Disaster Information on 15th, "evacuation" is an action to avoid difficulties, and going to an evacuation center is not the only evacuation. " Therefore, if your home is on the upper floors of the condominium or in a safe area, you can have options other than shelter, such as staying at home and evacuating at home and using relatives, acquaintances' houses, and hotels. I am proposing that.
In addition, it is important to check the risk of your home or the place of evacuation with hazard maps etc. in advance to determine whether it is an appropriate place of refuge.
On that basis, the meaning of "warning level" announced according to the risk level of the disaster is correctly understood, and at level 3, the elderly and their supporters who take time to evacuate I'm asking you to start an evacuation action.
Toshitaka Katada, professor of the Disaster Information Society of Japan and specially appointed professor of the University of Tokyo, said, "Please think about how to avoid 3 denseness when you evacuate. On the other hand, you must not be too victim of a disaster because you fear infection. Therefore, I would like people who need to evacuate to shelters not to hesitate. "
