Based on the "National Protection Law", Okinawa Prefecture is planning a map training to evacuate residents from the Maejima Islands at the end of this year, assuming a situation where an armed attack on Okinawa is predicted for the first time. I found out.
Local governments nationwide have conducted training to protect residents based on the "National Protection Law."
Okinawa Prefecture has also conducted training assuming "emergency response situations" such as terrorism, but this time, we plan a map training assuming "armed attack prediction situations" where external armed attacks are predicted for the first time. I found out that.
According to the prefecture, the training on the map is to evacuate the inhabitants from the Maejima Islands, assuming the time lapse from the tense situation around Okinawa to the time when the country recognizes the "armed attack prediction situation". It means confirming cooperation with related organizations.
Okinawa Prefecture plans to conduct map training at the end of this year, and is currently in discussions with the Self-Defense Forces, police, and the national government.
The next discussion meeting will be held late next month, and the local governments of the Maejima Islands will also participate in the discussion on the training timeline.
