Key points for Evacuation considering novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

「自らの命は自らが守る」意識を持ち、適切な避難行動をとりましょう

知っておくべき5つのポイント

⚫ 避難とは[難]を[避]けること。安全な場所にいる人まで避難場所に行く必要はありません。

⚫ 避難先は、小中学校・公民館だけではありません。安全な親戚・知人宅に避難することも考えてみましょう。

⚫ マスク・消毒液・体温計が不足しています。できるだけ自ら携行して下さい。

⚫ 市町村が指定する避難場所、避難所が変更・増設されている可能性があります。災害時には市町村ホームページ等で確認して下さい。

⚫ 豪雨時の屋外の移動は車も含め危険です。やむをえず車中泊をする場合は、浸水しないよう周囲の状況等を十分確認して下さい。
