| The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has published the results of a basic survey of dangerous areas in the event of a landslide. As someone who lives in an area designated as a hazard zone, I would like to know specific measures, such as evacuation, in the event of a disaster. | Based on the Landslide Prevention Act, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is in the process of designating the entire metropolitan area as a landslide-prone area. Inagi City is also included in the designation, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is planning to hold an information session in the future. The Landslide Prevention Act is said to be a soft measure. Until now, the focus has been on structural improvements and measures to prevent cliffs that are on the verge of collapsing from collapsing, but lessons from recent catastrophes have made it clear that there are limits to such responses. This does not mean that we will stop working on hardware, but the idea is to change our way of thinking and shift to software measures that allow us to "get away". In the event of an actual disaster, we will continue to work with the city to provide advance notice and call for evacuation using e-mails, disaster prevention administrative radio systems, patrolling PR vehicles, etc. Please act calmly based on this information. |
| The area behind my house is designated as a landslide danger zone, but if a heavy rain warning actually occurs, I don't know when or where to evacuate. | Evacuation is divided into three stages according to the scale of the disaster: "Evacuation preparations/information on starting evacuation for the elderly, etc.", "Evacuation advisory," and "Evacuation order," with the urging of the order increasing. An evacuation order is an order. In the event of a disaster, the city will provide information urging people to evacuate via the administrative disaster prevention radio and emails, so please be sure to sign up for these email updates. When an evacuation advisory is issued, it means that the situation is one step away from a disaster occurring, and people are asked to evacuate immediately. However, it is also true that many people do not evacuate even when evacuation advisories are issued. To protect their lives, we urge everyone to evacuate. There are no designated evacuation shelters based on address, so please head to the nearest open evacuation shelter. We ask that you make your own way to evacuation shelters; however, we have a system in place for people who require assistance in evacuation who have difficulty evacuating on their own, such as those using wheelchairs, who can register in advance and receive assistance during the evacuation. Under this system, a list is created and provided to local residents' associations, etc., who are asked to provide mutual assistance in the event of an evacuation. |
| I heard that behavioral therapy is a good way to prevent dementia. Is there anything the city and the Silver Human Resources Center can do? | Currently, the city is working to create a system for the entire town to take care of people with dementia by renting out GPS systems to prevent wandering and running a dementia supporter project. Although we recognize that measures to prevent dementia are an issue, medical progress is being made in elucidating the mechanism of dementia, and we hope that future advances in medicine will lead to prevention. In addition, there are groups in the city where many elderly people gather, and I have the opportunity to be invited to events as the mayor, and the people who participate in these events are very energetic and lively. I look forward to seeing you. A variety of events are held at neighborhood association events and local community centers, and we believe that having more people participate in these local activities may help prevent dementia. . |
