■ Prepare for the heavy rain and typhoon season: enhance accurate disaster response actions and awareness

As the peak period of heavy rain and typhoons approaches, Nirasaki City will conduct a comprehensive disaster prevention drill assuming flood damage.

The purpose is to enable citizens to take correct evacuation actions without hesitation during a disaster, and to raise daily disaster prevention awareness.

To protect lives from increasingly severe weather disasters, swift action is essential. Through this drill, citizens can reconfirm evacuation routes and shelters near them, and make thorough preparations for disasters.

■ Implementation procedure for timeline drills linked to warning levels

On the day, the drills will simulate actual weather disaster progression, with tense information transmission and evacuation drills coordinated via disaster prevention administrative radio, emergency alert emails, and official city SNS.

8:00 AM [Warning Level 3: Evacuation of elderly, etc.] (Chime broadcast)

Evacuation orders will be announced via disaster prevention administrative radio. Those requiring assistance who need time to evacuate should begin evacuating to designated shelters together with supporters. General residents should pay attention to future weather information and prepare to evacuate at any time.

9:00 AM [Warning Level 4: Evacuation order] (Siren broadcast, emergency alert email)

Evacuation orders will be issued simultaneously via disaster prevention administrative radio, emergency alert emails, and official city SNS. Residents should begin evacuating quickly to safe places based on their pre-prepared 'My Timeline' and other plans.

9:40 AM [Information transmission drill] (District heads, self-governing disaster prevention leaders)

District heads and self-governing disaster prevention leaders will compile the evacuation status of local residents and use the 'Nirasaki Disaster Prevention and Administrative Navigation (Life Vision)' app on their smartphones to quickly aggregate and report the number of evacuees and households to the city disaster response headquarters.

10:00 AM [Evacuation information cancellation] (Chime broadcast)

All evacuation information will be canceled and the drill ends. After the drill, families and organizations will be encouraged to review and revise their action plans.

■ Bus evacuation drill for vulnerable people to 'Shaterize Hotel Nirasaki no Mori', a disaster agreement facility

As part of the comprehensive disaster prevention drill, a transport and reception drill targeting vulnerable people will be conducted.

Assuming the role of a welfare evacuation shelter during disasters, participants will actually travel by bus from City Hall (departing at 8:40 AM) to the private facility 'Shaterize Hotel Nirasaki no Mori', which has a disaster agreement with the city. The drill will verify the safety of the transport route and identify issues for smooth reception on-site.

■ Local drill program: Disaster prevention warehouse unlocking and equipment operation experience at designated emergency evacuation sites

At each designated emergency evacuation site, which are familiar evacuation destinations for citizens, an unlocking drill of installed 'disaster prevention warehouses' will be conducted in conjunction.

Residents will check the disaster prevention supplies (tents, cardboard beds, emergency portable toilets, etc.) inside the warehouses, which are normally not accessible, and with support from city staff, actually experience assembling and operating them, thereby raising mutual aid awareness in the local community.
