“Mother and child welfare refuge” opened to accept infants and pregnant women Chiba Minamiboso September 12, 18:03
In Minamiboso City, Chiba Prefecture, where power outages continue due to the impact of Typhoon No. 15, a shelter has been established to accept infants and pregnant women.
In Minamiboso City, shelters have been established in seven locations in the city, and a new mother-child welfare shelter that accepts infants and pregnant women has been opened on the 12th.
This evacuation center is located in the Chikura Health Center in the Chikura area. There are nursing rooms that can be separated by curtains, a large space where children can run around, and children's dressing.
It also means that a registered dietitian and a public health nurse can be stationed and consulted.
However, because the communication situation is still poor in the city and it is difficult to communicate about the establishment of evacuation shelters, we use public information vehicles to call for use.
Kazuyuki Saito, General Manager of Minamiboso City Health Support Division, said, “If you have small children or pregnant women, it is difficult to go to the usual evacuation shelters because you are worried about others. I was talking.
In addition, in the city, the bathroom of the “Chikura Care Prevention Center Yurari” on the same site as the Chikura Health Center is open for free, which means that anyone can use it.
