(helping one another in your own community), and Public Assistance (help from the government in support of Self-Help and Cooperative Help)
are very important. Out of all of these, the most basic is Self-Help.
The material in this publication is simply for reference. Since each person s situation is diﬀerent, you will need to think carefully about what is necessary
for yourself. Keeping in mind the idea of Each person should protect his own life by himself , you should make your own decisions and take action.

Things to Keep in Mind for Evacuation

Evacuate as Early as Possible

Check Designated Evacuation Shelters

You should evacuate voluntarily
and as early as possible.If you
are evacuating by car, evacuate
before the city issues evacuation information so that you can
avoid traﬃc jams and you don t
block emergency vehicles.

If you want to go to acity-designated evacuation
shelter, check available shelters through the Disaster Prevention Website or TV databroadcasts (using the dbutton on your TV remote).

Deciding Whether to Evacuate →Refer to p.4

Gathering Information →Refer to p.31

Wear clothing that is easy to move aroundand sneakers when evacuating your house.

Avoid Hazardous Areas When Evacuating

When evacuating your house,
walk to an evacuation shelter
while it is still light outside,
when it is much safer. Wearsneakers because it will bevery diﬃcult to walk in boots
if water gets into them.

Riverbanks and bridges of
ﬂooded rivers, subterranean tunnels, and landslidedisaster warning areas arehazardous. Evacuate via asafe route that you havechecked in advance.
Evacuation Procedures →Refer to p.3

If You Are Unable to Evacuate in Time

If You Are Stranded in Your House

It is diﬃcult even for an
adult to wade through50-centimeter-deep(knee-high) water. If thewater is deep, evacuate
to higher ﬂoors of yourhouse by using the stairs.

If the water reaches thehighest level of yourhouse, wear a lifejacket
or use a ﬂotation device
and wait for rescuers.

A list of evacuation facilities for the Shinano River and the Uono River areas

In cases of disasters, the city and the ﬁre department are not always able to oﬀer immediate evacuation assistance or rescue operations.
In such cases, those who can rush in and provide help ﬁrst are your neighbors. Based on the idea, The people of each neighborhood
should protect their own neighborhood, Autonomous Disaster Prevention Associations, Neighborhood Associations, community
social workers, etc. should come together to cooperate and assist in the evacuation of each neighborhood.

Evacuation facilities to be open in case of ﬂoods may diﬀer from facility to facility depending on their conditions. Locations of evacuation facilities will be announced
when the evacuation information is issued. Please make sure to conﬁrm them via the Facebook page of the Chikyû Hiroba at the Nagaoka City International Aﬀairs Center.

Cooperative Help 1

Daily Preparations

Evacuation Assistance and Life at an Evacuation Shelter

Safety Conﬁrmation and Evacuation AssistanceConﬁrm the safety of people who needevacuation assistance by telephoning orvisiting. Provide evacuation assistancedepending on the situation and in accordance with their requests.

Evacuate in Groups and Help Each Other
It is dangerous to evacuate alone. If you
evacuate in a group, you can help eachother in case something dangerous
happens. Help children, the elderly, and thephysically challenged with their evacuation.

Cooperate while Staying at an Evacuation ShelterLife at evacuation shelters requires the cooperation with the city staﬀ, shelter managers (school staﬀ, etc.), and evacuees. In
order to avoid problems, people from all walks of life should discuss the decisions regarding life at the evacuation shelter,such as the rules, assistance for people who need support, awareness of the number of evacuees, distribution of goods, etc.
Mutual assistance and sharing will help evacuees have a comfortable stay at evacuation shelters.
