In preparation for evacuations in apartments and other housing complexes, where approximately 9 million people live in Tokyo, in the event of a disaster, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is strengthening disaster prevention measures by subsidizing a portion of the cost of installing emergency generators. I am planning to do so.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, approximately 9 million people out of the approximately 14 million people in Tokyo live in apartment complexes and other housing complexes. We are promoting disaster prevention measures in apartment complexes, such as by subsidizing part of the cost of preparing the materials and equipment needed for residents to evacuate from home, such as portable toilets and portable generators.
In addition, we have decided to subsidize the entire cost of preparing materials and equipment if we hold a joint disaster prevention drill with the neighborhood association near the condominium next fiscal year to strengthen our countermeasures.
In addition, in the event of a power outage in the condominium, we will partially subsidize the cost of installing emergency generators, etc. that can provide electricity to supply water to each room and operate one or more elevators in the event of a power outage. .
A Tokyo Metropolitan Government official said, ``Following the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has become even more aware of disaster prevention, so we hope that Tokyo residents will continue to prepare as well.''
