Early evacuation call due to the approach of Typhoon No. 19 Izu Islands Oshima-cho, October 10, 12:41
Because Typhoon No. 19 may approach, we held a countermeasure meeting on the 10th in Oshima-cho, Izu Islands, confirmed that we would open a shelter early and call on residents to evacuate early .
In Oshima-cho, where damage to buildings was caused by typhoon No. 15 last month, typhoon No. 19 could approach, and on May 10, executives attended a meeting to take measures.
Among them, it was reported that the houses damaged by Typhoon No. 15 may be further damaged, and residents will need to be evacuated depending on the situation.
On top of that, Oshima High School, designated as an evacuation center, could not be opened due to damage from Typhoon No. 15, so the policy was to use the Oshima Town Hall and its surrounding facilities instead.
Furthermore, before the typhoon approached, it was confirmed that an evacuation center would be opened early to call on residents to evacuate early.
Oshima-cho Mayor Toshihiro Mitsugi said, “While repairing damaged houses is not complete, we are most worried about the damage caused by the next typhoon No. 19, and we want residents to evacuate promptly. I would like to deal with the staff as soon as possible while sharing information, and always respond to the worst situations. "
