ap!

Last year in May a copy of the Hazard Zone Map was distributed with Momiji Dayori to all households. In order to prepare for typhoons and heavy rain check where the hazard zones* are on the Hazard Zone Map and whether it is safer to evacuate or stay home in the event of a disaster. If you do not have a Hazard Zone Map please get one from the counter on the 1st floor of the main Minoh City Office building, the Minoh City Office Toyokawa Branch or the Minoh City Office Todoromi Branch. You can also view the Hazard Zone Map on the City website. *A hazard zone is an area where there is a possibility of landslides or floods. Landslides are divided into red zones, hazard areas and yellow zones. Floods are divided into danger levels 1, 2 and 3.

The latest version was published in May 2019

Make sure you have the latest version!

According to

the Hazard Zone Map

Please confirm which is safer for your home!

Is it safer to go to an evacuation center?

Is it safer to stay home?or

In a typhoon or heavy rain, the most dangerous place to be is outdoors in a hazard zone. If you live in a hazard zone and your house is safe, it is actually more dangerous to go outside during a storm.In Minoh City, in an emergency we advise those living in hazard zones to either evacuate to an evacuation center or take refuge on the 2nd floor*. The action that you should take depends on the structure of your house and the risk of landslides, so please make sure to check the Hazard Zone Map!*For those who live in the Yellow Zone in a one story house we advise taking refuge in a room away from any mountains, cliffs and rivers.

If you live within the yellow zone in a 1 story house do not go outside, go into a room away from mountains, cliffs and rivers. If the action that you should

take is to evacuate, check the types of Minoh City evacuation warnings to find out when you should evacuateIf the City announces evacuation preparations (evacuation of elderly people and others)...

Households that should evacuate to an evacuation center

Elderly people, people with disabilities and those with young children etc. should evacuate immediately

Those who can follow standard evacuation procedures should begin to prepare for evacuation (and start to evacuate when an evacuation advisory is announced)

※ People who can take refuge on the 2nd story and people who live outside of the hazard zones can also go to an evacuation center. Even if it's just that you do not feel safe being home alone do not hesitate to go to an evacuation center for any reason. ※ To prevent the spread of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus), measures such as ensuring that there is a lot of space etc. will be taken. Please look into the possibility of taking refuge at the houses of relatives and friends who live outside of a hazard zone.
