Typhoon No.19 TEPCO prepared for power outage with an increase of more than seven times, October 11th, 20:00
In preparation for the approach of Typhoon No.19, TEPCO will create a system of approximately 17,000 people, more than seven times that of Typhoon No.15 last month, and will be able to grasp and restore the situation when a power failure occurs. The
TEPCO will expand the posture of employees and workers from the morning of the 12th when Typhoon No. 19 approaches to about 17,300 people.
This is more than seven times the number of typhoon No. 15 when a large-scale power outage occurred. Employees wait at headquarters in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, as well as branch offices in Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures, causing a power outage. If we do, we will try to grasp the situation and recover.
In addition, TEPCO is proceeding with inspections to check if there is any damage to the wires as a result of workers traveling around by car in Chiba Prefecture, where damage from fallen trees, etc., was significant in the previous typhoon.
In addition, if a blue sheet or the like is blown by the wind and caught on an electric wire or utility pole, it may cause a power failure.
TEPCO wants you to contact the customer center if you find that a flying sheet such as a blue sheet is caught on an electric wire due to a typhoon, or that the electric wire is cut and drooping.
