Distribution of sandbags, etc. in an industrial park in preparation for Yokohama Typhoon No.19 12:05 on October 9
In preparation for the approach of Typhoon No. 19, Yokohama City has been promoting early measures by distributing sandbags and blue sheets for businesses in industrial parks that have been severely damaged by the storm surge of last month.
In an industrial estate facing Tokyo Bay in Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, the revetment was destroyed by a storm caused by Typhoon No. 15 last month, and a large amount of seawater flowed into about 480 factories and offices. There are many factories.
In preparation for Typhoon No. 19, which is expected to approach this weekend, Yokohama City began distributing sandbags and blue sheets to businesses at the civil engineering office in Kanazawa Ward from the 9th.
On the 9th, employees from many companies started queuing around 10am, and received a sandbag after telling the desired number. In Yokohama, we have 800 sandbags and 500 blue sheets.
A man from a metal processing company who received a sandbag said, “I didn't expect to be inundated during the typhoon last month and did not take any countermeasures. I want to prepare well this time.” It was.
In the last month's typhoon, cars that had stopped on the premises of industrial parks were swept away by high waves, and there were many damages that hit buildings, so Yokohama City is also considering securing a place to evacuate cars We are.
