Following the debris flow that occurred in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture on the 3rd of this month, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Akabane extracted "fills" from all over the country at a press conference on the 9th, and there is no place to pose a danger in the event of a disaster. Or, it was clarified that the inspection will be carried out in cooperation with related ministries and agencies.
In the debris flow in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which occurred on the 3rd of this month, an embankment was created in the place where the slope collapsed, and it is believed that most of this embankment collapsed this time.
At a meeting after the Cabinet meeting, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Akabane said, "We will grasp where and how much the embankment is currently, including dangerous areas like this time." It was clarified that it will take about a month to extract places that may be filled nationwide, such as the creation of residential land and the storage of construction surplus soil.
In addition, he also announced a policy to check the local situation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Ministry of the Environment to see if there is a risk of collapse and damage to houses in the event of a disaster such as heavy rain.
In addition, since there are cases where embankments are placed in places where management methods are not regulated, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Akabane expressed the view that it is necessary to consider how to deal with such embankments.
