Due to the damage caused by Typhoon No. 19, nearly 900 people are still forced to evacuate in Nagano Prefecture, and cold weather will become severe in the future.
Of these, in the northern gymnasium in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture, where nearly 150 people evacuate, the cold was getting severer, so we increased the number of stoves from 2 to 4 and prepared more blankets.
A woman in her 60s who was evacuating said, “I heard that the gymnasium is cold, but I have a stove and enough blankets to help.” On the other hand, a 19-year-old woman said, “Cool air comes down from the top of the wall, so it's chilly even if you put on a blanket, especially at dawn.”
According to a medical team that provides health consultations at an evacuation center in Nagano City, there are places where it is difficult to control the temperature in gymnasiums and indoor playgrounds, and it is expected that it will become extremely cold in the future. The medical team has pointed out that it is necessary to take measures against the cold, as some people may get sick from the cold.
