Requirement to create evacuation plans for facilities used by people requiring special care

Due to the enforcement of the "Act for Partial Amendment of the Flood Control Act, etc.", the "Flood Control Act" and the "Landslide Prevention Act" were enacted on June 19, 2017 in order to strengthen the evacuation system of facilities used by people requiring special care. As a result of the revision, owners or managers of facilities used by persons requiring special consideration located in areas where flooding is expected are now obligated to create an evacuation plan and conduct evacuation drills.
In response to this, Inagi City has stipulated in its regional disaster prevention plan the creation of an evacuation plan and the implementation of evacuation drills.

Additionally, due to the partial amendments to the ``Flood Control Act'' and the ``Landslide Prevention Act'' on May 10, 2021, it has become mandatory to report when evacuation drills are conducted based on the prepared evacuation plan.

An evacuation plan is a plan that sets out the necessary items to ensure smooth and rapid evacuation of users in the event of a risk of flooding or landslides.

In order to ensure that the evacuation plan is practical, it is important that facility managers and others take the initiative in creating it.
Conducting evacuation drills based on the created evacuation plan will improve its effectiveness.

The following facilities for people with special needs located in areas expected to be inundated by flooding along the Tama River or in landslide (special) alert areas are eligible.

• Social welfare facilities (nursing homes, disability support facilities, child welfare facilities, etc.)
• School (kindergarten, elementary/junior high school, high school, etc.)
• Medical facilities (hospitals, clinics, etc.)

Please refer to the hazard map below for information on how to check flooded areas.

Owners or managers of target facilities should refer to the guidelines and templates below and create an evacuation plan.
