If  a  natural  disaster  occurs・・・  After ensuring your safety and checking the damage, secure drinking water.  

If a natural disaster occurs, Saitama city Waterworks Bureau will quickly determine the extent
of damage, prepare an emergency water supply, and start restoration work. Saitama city has 109
emergency water supply stations.	  ！	 

Be sure to confirm the locations of these stations so that when the time comes

there is no cause for alarm. Saitama city Waterworks Bureau distributes the maps of these stations.
Ask your neighbors or an official of a residents’ association about where these water supplystations are.
※ Your nearest water supply station in times of disaster is…

Prepare containers for water supply！
・ Although water trucks go around evacuation shelters or an area where water supply has been cut
off, few emergency water supply stations are located in your neighborhood. Have clean
containers with caps such as plastic water containers, plastic bottles, and water bottles ready at
all times.
・ Bring wheeled suitcases/bags or backpacks to the sites because water is heavier than you think.
Given road conditions, backpacks are better.

Store drinking water for your family in preparation for a disaster
Store 3 liters of water per person, per day, for more than 3 days
・ In times of disaster, it is expected that transportation will stop and it will take time to establish thesystem of emergency water supply activities due to road conditions. Always store drinking
water for such an emergency. Along with drinking water with a long shelf life, store tap water.     How to store tap waterContainers

Clean containers with tops such as plastic water containers, plastic bottles,and water bottles(Fill the containers to the top with tap water to prevent air from entering)

Replacement timing

3 days (Use the undrinkable water for cleaning rooms, doing thelaundry, or flashing the toilet) (NOTE: Purified water is not suitable forthis because its capability as a disinfectant is limited.）
