The city compiles the list basedon internal administrativeinformation.

TargetArea（Evacuation Zone 3）

Use the list, prepare during non-emergency periods, and be ready for disasters.

In order to protect lives from disasters, it is important to prepare an evacuation plan
(individual plan) for each person in advance using the "List of Persons Requiring Evacuation Assistance." This list will be provided by the city to those who will be providing
evacuation assistance. They can prepare for future disasters by looking after persons
on the list on a daily basis and by conducting "emergency drills," among others. We ask
for the understanding and cooperation of everyone in the community!

AbbreviatedTerms

Residential areas and areas near the crater

Based on lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake and other recent disasters, the Disaster
Countermeasures Basic Act was revised to ensure practical evacuation support.
(Implemented on May 20, 2021)

The Safety of Persons Requiring Evacuation Assistance

Support SystemVolcanic Warning (residential area)
or Volcanic Warning

They are persons requiring assistance during evacuation when disasters occur.
They include those who are elderly, persons with disabilities, persons who are sick or
injured, infants, and persons from other countries. Please cooperate and help eachother in the community to protect these individuals from disasters.

When a volcanic eruption occurs, eruptive phenomena such as "large volcanic cinders" or "pyroclastic
ﬂows" may occur, leaving almost no time to evacuate.
In order to respond appropriately to these phenomena, the Mt. Tsurumidake/Mt. Garandake Volcano
Disaster Management Council, consisting of the prefectural government, cities and towns, volcano
experts, and organizations related to volcano disaster prevention, discusses regulations to be implemented and disaster prevention measures to be taken in case of emergency, even during non-emergency
periods. The Japan Meteorological Agency announces volcanic activity status using ﬁve diﬀerent levels
that correspond to keywords. Then, prefectures, municipalities, and various disaster prevention-relatedorganizations implement "disaster prevention measures corresponding to each level" agreed uponthrough consultations that were held during non-emergency periods.
