Q&A summary

|---|---|
| Reorganization of the fire station into the Tokyo Fire Department | Since its establishment in 1967, Inagi City has promoted firefighting administration that takes advantage of its characteristics as an independent city firefighting agency. The reason for the city's independent firefighting is that it is closely related to the community above all and cooperates with the fire brigade, which is the core of regional disaster prevention. In addition, by placing a disaster prevention section in the fire department headquarters, cooperation with voluntary disaster prevention organizations and various disaster prevention related organizations is maintained as a unified fire fighting and disaster prevention. Construction of firefighting branch offices, firefighting headquarters, firefighting corps vehicles and equipment are systematically maintained, and firefighting power is substantial. We will continue to make use of the characteristics of the city's independent firefighting system and strive to further enhance and strengthen the firefighting system. |
| Inagi City seems to have only three ambulances. | There are three in Inagi City as a whole, and considering the population size, this number is substantial. Comparing the number of emergencies per ambulance team between the Inagi Fire Department and the Tokyo Fire Department, Inagi City is one-third that of the Tokyo Fire Department. It is operated with more leeway than the Tokyo Fire Department. |
| During the typhoon in July this year, a person requiring nursing care was shivering at home. Firefighters did not come to guide the evacuation. If it becomes the Tokyo Fire Department, I think we can get more cooperation. | Originally, the Fire Service Act stipulates that local governments establish fire stations or fire brigade headquarters. Based on the intent of the law, Inagi City is in charge of firefighting administration. There seems to be a misunderstanding, but the Tokyo Fire Department does "protection" in the event of a disaster, but does not do "disaster prevention". Neighboring cities that have outsourced their work to the Tokyo Fire Department also have disaster prevention sections in their city halls, and the city has jurisdiction over disaster prevention operations. On the other hand, Inagi City has set up a disaster prevention section in its fire department headquarters to unify firefighting and disaster prevention administration. The fire brigade cooperates with the fire department headquarters to provide disaster prevention and logistical support. In the event of a wind disaster, it plays a role of disaster prevention rather than evacuation guidance. Compared with neighboring cities, we think that cooperation between fire brigade and fire brigade is planned. Next, we will issue orders for evacuation in the event of storm and flood damage in stages. First, "evacuation preparations/start of evacuation for the elderly, etc.", then "evacuation advisories," and finally "evacuation orders." In principle, when evacuating, you should go to the evacuation center on your own. In addition, those who are vulnerable to disasters are registered on the evacuation action support person registration card and are listed. This list is also provided to voluntary disaster prevention organizations, and for the evacuation of those who are vulnerable to disasters, the voluntary disaster prevention organizations are at the forefront, and we ask them to help each other in the mutual assistance part. Inagi City also has a disaster prevention association, and some companies have their own fire brigade. There are many other organizations related to disaster prevention, such as the Women's Fire Prevention Club and the Boys' Fire Prevention Club, and I believe that the firefighting administration of Inagi City is coordinated throughout. |
| When calling for an ambulance, the phone is connected to Kawasaki City. Also, I am registered with the emergency medical notification system, but I do not know when to tell my registration number when reporting. | When requesting an emergency call from a mobile phone, there are cases where it is connected to a different fire department in areas such as prefectural borders. transferred to the city. Also, regarding the emergency medical notification number, it will be smoother if you tell us the number first. |
| There are many emergency cases in Hirao, but is there a factor other than the aging population? | One factor is the aging population. In addition, about how to use ambulance, we think that there is some problem. 60% of calls in Inagi City as a whole are requests for ambulance for minor injuries. If you are unsure whether to call an ambulance or not, please contact the "#7119" Emergency Consultation Service. |
| During this year's Typhoon No. 24, an evacuation center was opened in neighboring Kawasaki City, but in Inagi City there was only a crisis management task force. Why is there a difference in response? | Each city makes decisions based on its own situation. On the day of the disaster, after taking into consideration the typhoon's path forecast and strong wind conditions, Inagi City decided not to open an evacuation center. |
| During an evacuation drill in the Hirao district, I saw a demonstration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by an ambulance crew, but they were teaching artificial respiration. According to the 2015 guidelines, artificial respiration should no longer be necessary, and only cardiac massage should be sufficient. | Resuscitation guidelines were revised in 2015. These guidelines do not state that artificial respiration is not necessary, but rather that giving priority to cardiac massage and then performing artificial respiration will increase the resuscitation rate. All first aid training sessions held by the fire department are conducted in accordance with the new guidelines. |
| What kind of measures will the city take regarding sediment disaster hazard areas designated by the capital? | For details, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will hold briefing sessions in various places, so please participate. The designation of the sediment disaster hazard area this time is based on the law, and designates the hazard area mechanically. Until now, disaster response has centered on physical countermeasures, focusing on preventing cliffs from collapsing. Ta. In the future, we will not stop hardware maintenance, but the purpose is to change the way of thinking and take measures to "escape" anyway. In the event of heavy rain, please evacuate immediately to protect yourself. |
