Evacuation center operation to avoid “3 denseness” Check for heavy rain Saga Koshiro May 22, 23:29
At an evacuation center that was opened in the event of heavy rain, work to check how to prevent infection with the new coronavirus was performed at a public hall in Ogi City, Saga Prefecture.
In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, the country will take up 4 square meters of the area per person at evacuation shelters, such as during heavy rain, to avoid crowding people, and places other than those designated as shelters We are requesting that evacuation shelters that can be used also be considered.
In response to this, on the 21st, about 20 people from the disaster prevention section and the section related to the operation of the shelter participated in Ogi City to study how to operate the shelter at the Ushizu Community Center.
It is said that up to about 60 people evacuated to the public hall during the heavy rain last year in Saga, but if the staff members put tape on the floor and secure an evacuation space and passage, the number of people that can be accommodated will be about a quarter. I have confirmed that it is necessary to open many shelters earlier than before.
Ogi City wants to set a policy for operating shelters by the beginning of next month.
Munenori Kawarada, Chief of Disaster Prevention Section, Ogi City, said, "Since people will inevitably concentrate in the evacuation centers, we ask all citizens to reconfirm the hazard map, evacuation to the second floor of their home, and relatives and acquaintances. I would like you to consider evacuating to your home. "
