Citizen mutual support network for people who require assistance in evacuation

Last updated: April 1, 2023

The city is creating a mutual support network of citizens to keep track of the situation of people who need assistance with evacuation, to quickly confirm their safety in the event of a disaster, and to connect them to rapid initial support activities.
The role of municipalities in dealing with people who require assistance in evacuation is to identify those who need assistance and actively support life in evacuation in the event of a disaster, such as formulating an overall support plan and individual evacuation plans for those who need assistance. However, since there is a limit to the extent to which such support can be provided by public assistance from municipalities alone, it is necessary to make efforts to educate residents so that they have a self-help mindset to protect themselves, and to cooperate and collaborate with residents and related organizations on a daily basis to build relationships of mutual assistance.
On September 1, 2003, Inagi City established the "Inagi City Citizen Mutual Support Network Project for People Requiring Assistance with Evacuation (formerly known as People Requiring Assistance in the Event of a Disaster) Implementation Guidelines," and is implementing the project by creating a register of people who require assistance with evacuation through a hand-raising system.
