Nagano Special Elderly Nursing Home Evacuation of 70 users before evacuation order 19:19 on July 8
At a nursing home for the elderly in Shinshu Shinmachi, Nagano City, about 70 people were evacuated to a nearby shelter before the evacuation order was issued because of the danger of landslides caused by heavy rain.
It has been said that heavy rain at Kumeji-so, a nursing home for the elderly in Shinshu Shinmachi, Nagano City, could cause sediment-related disasters and floods. I evacuated to a place.
In the Hihara Higashi district where "Kumejisou" is located, an evacuation order was issued at 9:25 am, about 30 minutes later, but at the facility, many users in their 90s find it difficult to walk on their own. Since it takes time to evacuate, I started to move before the evacuation order was issued.
Using the transfer vehicle used at the facility, we carried the user back and forth between the facility and the shelter.
In addition, about 10 users who were uncomfortable with their physical condition were evacuated to a nearby hospital.
Atsuko Takano, director of “Kumejisou,” said, “I thought that the danger of disasters was increasing due to rain. I was also aware of the disasters in Kyushu, so as long as I keep the lives of users, I tried to evacuate early because I was okay if I couldn't move."
