Typhoon No. 19 May be the same level of storms Measures that can be taken now Oct. 19:05
In preparation for Typhoon No. 19, we have summarized what can be done now.
Check stockpile in case of power outage
First, stockpiling.
Regarding Typhoon No.19, the Japan Meteorological Agency says that there is a risk of a storm of the same degree as Typhoon No.15 last month, when a major blackout occurred in Chiba Prefecture.
Confirmation of water and food reserves is required.
According to experts, the amount to be stocked should be at least 3 days, preferably about 1 week.
Also, if there is a power failure, the “light” will disappear, so make sure you have a flashlight.
The LED type will last longer than the light bulb type.
If you put a plastic bottle with water on the flashlight, it becomes a room light.
Also, if you can't watch TV and your smartphone's battery runs out, it's hard to get "information".
It ’s helpful to have a battery that can charge your mobile radio or smartphone.
Check the shelter
It is also necessary to prepare for heavy rain, high waves and storm surges.
Check the hazard map to see what risks you live in.
It is also necessary to check the location of the evacuation center, the route to the evacuation center, and the timing for starting evacuation.
In order to be able to move quickly in the event of an emergency, it is important to make preparations by talking to family members and neighbors.
