Opening an Evacuation Shelter in Cooperation

Evacuees Themselves to Be Operators

Training of operating an evacuation shelter at Yatsuka Elementary School on November 13

Mutual Support and Cooperation

Evacuation shelters, to be opened in times of large-scale disaster, will be operated, with the leadership of residents.

Smooth operation requires the cooperation of evacuees who will gather at the evacuation shelter. It is essential for everyone to think about "what I can do" so as to prepare a comfortable evacuation shelter.

Training to Operate an Evacuation Shelter

We conduct a lot of training so that evacuees themselves can operate the evacuation shelter, and verify after each training.
