When to evacuate? When?
Disasters such as sediment-related disasters and flooding of rivers occur suddenly and the damage spreads at once, so if evacuation is delayed, It is life-threatening. Therefore, the timing of evacuation is important. For alert level 3, evacuate to a safe place for the elderly and people with disabilities. At alert level 4, all people in the target area should evacuate immediately. At alert level 5, a disaster has already occurred, so you need to take action to save your life. It may be difficult to evacuate safely after reaching alert level 5, so early evacuation is required. When the weather is rough, the risk of evacuation increases, such as poor road conditions and storms that cause objects to fly. Even if no evacuation order or evacuation advisory has been issued, if you feel any danger, evacuate yourself. If you feel uneasy, that is the time to evacuate. When evacuating with the awareness of disaster prevention that “voluntarily evacuate to a safe place as soon as possible”, please talk to your neighbors and take multiple actions.
