Training to open an evacuation center while fighting new corona infections Yamanashi June 6, 16:54

Prior to the rainy season and typhoon season, training was conducted in Nirasaki City, Yamanashi Prefecture, while taking measures to prevent new coronavirus infections and opening shelters.

Approximately 20 city staff in charge of crisis management participated in the 6-day training held at an elementary school in Nirasaki City, and an evacuation center was established while taking measures to prevent infection at an evacuation center that tends to become "3 dense". Training was done.

First, we confirmed that the reception desk was set up outside the shelter to wear face shields, and that each person should fill in their physical condition as well as their name and contact information.

And in the gymnasium, we assembled cardboard partitions to prevent crowding and to prevent the spread of flying.

Employees were checking how much space each family needed, and adjusting the orientation for privacy.

We also conducted training to install tents for disasters and temporary toilets to accept infected and suspected infected people.

Mayor Hisao Naito of Nirasaki City said, “It is important that the staff first experience a new method to deal with the new coronavirus before the citizens are evacuated. I want you to spend your time with me."
