3 Fukushima My Evacuation Plan Booklet
In recent years, there have been several instances of once-in-a-decade heavy rainfall and precipitation that has never been experienced before. Based on what we have learned from Typhoon Hagibis and heavy rains, you should stay vigilant and avoid the mindset that everything’s been OK until now while preparing your own evacuation plan (My Evacuation).
This is in order to respond to an emergency quickly. Please go through this booklet and think about your evacuation plan. Floods are no longer someone else’s problem.
