“At-home evacuation” due to 3 avoidance of evacuation shelters 60% of municipalities in Chiba are worried June 20 at 20:52

About "home refuge" to stay at home to avoid "3 crowd" at evacuation centers, about 60% of local governments in Chiba prefecture are concerned that people in dangerous areas will stay at home if a disaster occurs I found out from a questionnaire conducted by NHK that I am doing.

In order to avoid "3 crowds" at evacuation shelters, the government has listed "home refuge" to stay at home as one of the options in the event of a disaster if safety is confirmed.

In a survey conducted by NHK this month on 54 municipalities in Chiba prefecture, approximately 80% of 45 local governments answered that they need to call for evacuation at home.

However, the number of local governments concerned that "it may be possible for people who live in dangerous areas to evacuate at home" reached 30%, which is 60%, and when actually evacuating at home, the residents judge their own safety. It turned out that there are many issues such as whether it can be done and whether the local government can call appropriately.

Professor Emeritus Hiroaki Yoshii of Tokyo Keizai University, who is familiar with disaster prevention, said, ``In addition to confirming the safety of your home in advance with hazard maps, etc., we will increase the choice of evacuation destinations such as relatives and acquaintance's home in case it is difficult to secure home safety. It's important to keep in mind."
