To evacuate as early as possible

Let's confirm with family and the community to ensure timely and appropriate evacuation.

In the event of a natural disaster, it is essential to take early evacuation actions based on your own judgment.
The city will issue evacuation instructions and indicate areas corresponding to the types of disasters that may occur when the risk of disaster increases.
Let's confirm in advance what dangers exist at home, school, workplace, etc., and think about how to evacuate when the time comes, including the designated evacuation shelters and locations.

Step 1: Let's check what kind of dangers exist at home, school, and workplace.

Check the hazard map to see how many meters you would be flooded in the event of a river flood, whether you are in a landslide warning area, and assess the risks of places you frequently visit, such as your home, school, or workplace.
Check the evacuation shelters and evacuation locations designated by the city (note) and plan your routes and means of transportation.

Note: Please be aware that it varies by type of disaster.

Step 2: Let's check the evacuation information issued by your local city or town.

Evacuation information and actions to be taken by residents, etc.

Alert Level	Evacuation Information, etc.	Actions to be taken by residents, etc.
Alert Level 3	Evacuation for Older Adults	<Situation of Declaration: There is a risk of disaster> Older Adults and others should evacuate from dangerous places (evacuate or secure safety indoors) (Note: 1). Older Adults and others who require time to complete evacuation, including older adults and individuals with disabilities who are homebound or using facilities, as well as those who assist them in evacuation. People other than Older Adults should also start to refrain from going out for work and other activities as needed, prepare for evacuation, and consider the timing for voluntary evacuation. For example, depending on the local situation, it is advisable for residents of areas where early evacuation is desirable to voluntarily evacuate at this time.
Alert Level 4	Evacuation Instructions (Note: 2)	<Situation of Declaration: High Risk of Disaster> Evacuate everyone from dangerous areas (either to evacuate or to secure safety indoors).
Alert Level 5	Emergency Safety Assurance (Note: 3)	<Situation of Declaration: Disaster Occurrence or Imminence> Danger to Life: Ensure Safety Immediately! If evacuating is more dangerous, ensure emergency safety. However, in the situation of disaster occurrence or imminence, it is not guaranteed that this action can be taken safely, nor is it guaranteed that safety can be ensured even if this action is taken.

• Note: 1
  • Evacuation: Evacuate to designated emergency evacuation sites or safe relatives' or friends' homes.
  • Indoor Safety Assurance: Move to a safer room or area within the building you are in at that time.
• Note: 2 The evacuation instructions (emergency) and evacuation recommendations have been consolidated, and the evacuation recommendations have been abolished.
• Note: 3 This information is not necessarily issued.

[Note] In the event of a sudden disaster, there may be instances where evacuation information from the mayor cannot be issued in time. Therefore, individuals should check the corresponding alert level information themselves, assess the necessity of evacuation, and if they feel in danger, evacuate voluntarily without hesitation.

Step 3: Let's think about what to do in case of an emergency.

For example, considering situations like the following, let's think in advance about emergency responses.

• Example 1 If it is deemed dangerous to move to the evacuation site due to heavy rain, let's move to a nearby building that is considered safer (such as a building where the top floor does not flood, or a building that is not along a river).
• Example 2 If it is considered dangerous to even go outside, let's move to a room inside the building that is thought to be safer (a room on an upper floor, a room as far away from the mountain as possible).
