Measures to Prevent Corona Infection at Evacuation Centers Issues such as drastically reducing the number of people available Chiba May 19, 15:04
Before the rainy season, when there is concern about flood damage due to heavy rain, work is being carried out at the shelters in Chiba City to confirm that sufficient evacuation space can be secured to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, so-called "3 dense". Taking measures to prevent this has made it possible to highlight issues such as the number of people who can use the service being reduced significantly.
A maximum of about 60 people were evacuated to the Kurosuna Community Center in Inage-ku, Chiba City during the typhoon No. 19 last October, and it was temporarily overcrowded.
On the 19th, in order to reduce the risk of infection with the new coronavirus in shelters that tend to be "3 dense", about 10 local residents and city staff involved in the operation of the shelter participated in sufficient evacuation space. We have done some work to confirm that we can secure it.
In the evacuation room, sheets with different colors for 1 person and 3 people were used as an evacuation space with a space of about 2 meters placed between them. It turns out that only one-tenth can enter about 20 people.
We also confirmed the time required to assemble and install a cardboard bed, which is said to prevent splash infection by keeping a distance from the floor, but we also faced the issue of not being able to secure sufficient storage space.
Mari Ikee, who lives in this area, said, “I was confronted with the reality that more people could not come in than I expected. I also made sure to convey the risk of infection at the evacuation center and call for evacuation to a safe home or acquaintance's house as much as possible. May be necessary. "
