Typhoon No. 19 Notes at the evacuation center Help each other and get over October 14th 19:31

I think there are many people who have already evacuated to evacuation centers in the areas that were greatly damaged by the typhoon.
Are there any elderly people, people with physical disabilities, or people who need help?
Call out, help each other, work together, and act.
Help each other and overcome this disaster.

Here are some notes for living in an evacuation center.

Evacuation points: baby

About baby care in shelters.

The “Japan Society for Neonatal Development”, which is made by a specialist, provides information on how to drink milk and how to keep your baby warm when a baby bottle cannot be used.

According to it, when there is no baby bottle, a paper cup is used, and when the baby is awake, it is held vertically, and the paper cup is applied to the baby's lower lip to slowly drink it little by little.

In addition, if there is not enough powdered milk, dehydration can be temporarily prevented by drinking 1 tablespoon of sugar or a bowl of supernatant from a glass of cold water.

In addition, to keep your baby warm when the shelter is cold, put a newspaper or towel on the cardboard to lay your baby, or take care not to disturb your breathing. The method of blocking is also effective.

You can check this information on the homepage of the Japan Society for Premature Newborns.

Evacuation points: Elderly health

This is a precaution for protecting the health of elderly people living in shelters.

The Hyogo Prefectural University Graduate School of Nursing makes a leaflet and calls for it.

According to it, it is easy to spread colds and flu in shelters, so it is necessary to thoroughly wash hands and gargle, wear a mask from usual, brush teeth and maintain dentures twice a day, morning and evening is.

Older people are more prone to dehydration, so it is important not to refrain from drinking water to reduce the number of toilets.

If you keep the same posture for a long time, there is a risk of so-called “economy class syndrome”, so we want you to move your body frequently without exercising your ankle.

In order to relieve anxiety and stress, it is important to find a person to talk to in the evacuation center and not to have any thoughts or troubles alone.

Because people suffer from dementia due to mental and physical fatigue and changes in the living environment due to the disaster, or symptoms called “delirium” may occur, the people around them talk to the elderly with a gentle attitude and speak and talk We have urged people to put their watches and calendars in order to make their lives more regular, so that they can be exposed to sunlight in the daytime, walks and light exercises to adjust their sleep rhythm.

Evacuation site: toilet

About the precautions of the toilet used in the shelter.

The NPO “Japanese Toilet Research Institute” in Tokyo, which is made up of medical personnel, etc., summarizes the types of toilets and precautions to use at evacuation centers on the website.

As a result, the toilet in the evacuation shelter will not be used properly and will cause problems with hygiene over a long period of time.

In addition, if you refrain from hydration to put up with the toilet, you may be dehydrated.

For this reason, for example, it is effective to prepare a large amount of garbage bags and newspapers and turn the bags into a simple toilet and throw away the bags.

The only way to flush the toilet with a bucket of water is to drain the waste and throw away the paper elsewhere, which can clog the piping.

In addition, it is important to create an environment that makes it easy for women to use the toilet and make it easy to go to the toilet by talking to each other.

After using the toilet, if you do not wash your hands or disinfect, there is a risk of spreading influenza and other infectious diseases.
