In Chiba Prefecture, where power outages due to Typhoon No. 15 continue, we found that more than half of the emergency generators stored for disasters in the prefecture remain in storage and are not being used.
In Chiba Prefecture, 468 emergency generators are stored in 10 disaster prevention warehouses in Tateyama City and Ichihara City in preparation for disasters.
The generators run for about 4 hours with a single fuel replenishment and are stockpiled for use in evacuation centers, etc. According to Chiba Prefecture, the police will move the traffic lights that have disappeared in this power outage. In addition to lending 191 cars, 19 prefectures used 19 cars at the prefecture's branch offices.
However, only six of them were rented out to local governments that had a power outage, along with Konancho and Kanzakicho, and more than half of the generators in stock were being used in warehouses. That is not.
According to the prefecture's disaster prevention plan, emergency generators stocked for disasters are to be lent out to make up for shortages in municipalities, and the prefecture explained that there were no requests for renting from other than this time doing.
Chiba Prefecture Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters said, “I don't expect to lend directly to citizens of the prefecture, and the output is low, so it's not suitable for charging mobile phones. However, we should make more aggressive calls to the municipalities. I want to consider whether or not it will be in the future. "
