On Tuesday, May 26, Reiwa 8, Izumiotsu City will conduct its first practical heatstroke response training for staff at post offices designated as 'cooling shelters'. The initiative was prompted by an emergency response at the Izumiotsu Kaminoguchi Post Office last July, where staff assisted a visitor who felt unwell, leading to a 119 call and hospitalization. This training will feature a testimonial from the post office staff who handled the situation and a lecture from the firefighters who responded, to confirm procedures for approaching visitors, guiding them to rest, monitoring their condition, and knowing when to call for an ambulance.
