Now let me tell you about disasters in Japan! I want you to be prepared for disasters while learning about Japan! Learn about Disasters in Japan! Japan is a “long island country”―from the north to the south. Japan is easy to have numerous disasters due to its natural conditions like location, topography, geology, weather, and others. Tokyo faces new challenges now. No easy way back home after a big earthquake…Localized heavy rains and floods caused by abnormally high temperatures…These are called “urban disasters.” Learn about disasters in Japan and be prepared for them! [By] Shinjuku Fire Station & Shinjuku Fire and Disaster Association Japan is prone to various natural disasters like earthquakes. Our way of dealing with emergencies may be different from that in your country. Learn about disasters and how to cope with them here in Japan. [One of the World's Quake Countries!] Notably, about 20% of the world's earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher have occurred in or around Japan so far. In March 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake caused more than 18,000 deaths and missing persons and major damage and confusion even in Tokyo―far from the epicenter. Even now, though the accuracy of earthquake prediction has improved, we cannot tell exactly when “the next one” will hit us. Be fully prepared for earthquakes. Keep in mind where your evacuation site is and what actions to take in a quake! Earthquake [Beware of Typhoons and Floods!] Like cyclones and hurricanes, tropical depressions called “typhoons” approach Japan every summer and fall. They can cause a lot of damage. TAKE CAUTION. In recent years, in addition to typhoons, Japan has also been frequently visited by extremely heavy rains commonly known as "guerrilla rainstorms." They come and go all too soon as highly localized falls, leaving the risk of major flooding even in the urban areas such as Tokyo. Typhoon Don't forget to take measures against floods, such as checking evacuation sites and collecting weather information! [Beware of Winter Fires!] During the winter in Japan, the air goes dry and the risk of fires increases. Mishandling of unfamiliar Japanese heaters can cause fires. If a fire breaks out, use a fire extinguisher to put it out and call 1- 1-9 as quickly as possible. Fire stations conduct "disaster prevention drills," showing you how to handle an extinguisher and how to make a 1-1-9 call. So please take part in such a training event if you have a chance. Fire [Get an Ambulance Now!] Japan is one of the rare countries in the world where the ambulance service can be requested for free. The Call Center has staff members who speak foreign languages, and, if necessary, has foreign language ambulance teams respond to emergencies. So if you need an ambulance for a sudden illness or a serious injury, don't hesitate to call for its help right away without worrying about the cost. (* Examinations and treatment in the hospital are at your own cost.) Ambulance [High Temperature and Humidity! Beware of Heatstroke] Japanese summers will be hot and humid. People who are not used to this stuffy condition may not be able to adjust themselves with the risk of falling into heatstroke. Meanwhile, a survey found that many foreigners have no knowledge of heatstroke. Heatstroke causes a variety of symptoms such as dizziness, convulsions, headache and vomiting. These can be sometimes fatal. As prevention measures, drink water frequently, regain lost salt and Heatstroke use air conditioning. #7119Emergency Telephone Consultation #7119 Center & Tokyo EMS Guide (EMS Guide) “Should I go to see a doctor by myself? Do I need to call an ambulance?”......If you don’t know what to do, call the Emergency Telephone Consultation Center at #7119. Not only the Center, the Tokyo EMS Guide (in English) also helps you ＃7119 when you suddenly fall ill or get injured. (EMS Guide) [QR code] It is very important to learn about disasters in the country where you live as a foreigner. Along with learning Japanese, we hope you will understand the Japanese environment and climate, raise your awareness of fire and disaster prevention, and eventually prepare for disasters!! .

  • The Triple Catastrophe: Japan's 03/11/11 Earthquake, Tsunami, And
    The Triple Catastrophe: Japan’s 03/11/11 Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Crisis Just after 2:45 p.m. on Friday, March 11, 2011, inhabitants of northeastern Honshu – Japan’s largest island and home to Tokyo, the country’s densely populated capital – felt the ground shake violently beneath them. Although the Japanese were accustomed to powerful tremors, this one (soon termed the Great East Japan Earthquake) struck with frightening intensity. 1 With a magnitude of 9.0, it was Japan’s largest earthquake in the modern era and the world’s fourth largest since 1900.2 Due in large part to mitigation and preparedness measures put in place after the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji 3 Earthquake, which caused significant damage in and around the city of Kobe, initial casualties and physical 4 damage were relatively low. But, having occurred along the ocean floor at the intersection of the Pacific and 1 Located along the “Ring of Fire” – the seismically volatile coastal perimeter of the Pacific Ocean – Japan experiences approximately 20% of the world’s earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.0 and above (Jeff Kingston, Natural Disaster and Nuclear Crisis in Japan: Response and Recovery after Japan’s 3/11, Routledge, New York, 2012; and U.S. Geological Survey [USGS], Earthquake Glossary – Ring of Fire, date unknown, available at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/glossary/?termID=150 [accessed March 14, 2013]). 2 USGS, Magnitude 9.0 – Near the East Coast of Honshu, Japan, date unknown, available at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2011/usc0001xgp/ [accessed October 2, 2013]; and USGS, USGS Updates Magnitude of Japan’s 2011 Tohoku Earthquake to 9.0, March 14, 2011, available at http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=2727 [accessed March 14, 2013].

  • 2008/1-3 Vol.1
    2008/1-3 vol.1 Three months have passed since I was assigned to be the Director General of JICA Tokyo. These three months are the busiest season of the year and I have tried to work hard in co operation with the staff members of this center to make your stay in Japan fruitful. Until last October we had been publishing "JICA Tokyo Monthly" to ensure your conven ience with a variety of information concerning Japan and JICA. However from this year we revised it from a monthly to a quarterly in order to focus more closely on participants' needs. And this January issue is the first one in the new style. There may be a lot of things you would like to know while you are staying in Japan. Perhaps you wonder what other participants are learning. How can newly arrived par ticipants make friends? How can you enjoy JICA Tokyo life to the full? How do other people get over their homesickness? Then we want to make the Quarterly a tool to answer those questions and others by sharing your expe riences and information and to be a forum to communicate with others as well. As for the event information, which had been given in the former Monthly, we have made it a flyer and we issue it twice a month. You can get further support service at the Information Desk and Communication Plaza just as you used to. I hope you enjoy JICA Tokyo Quarterly. It is our great pleasure if these pages are helpful to make your stay in Japan more comfortable and meaningful.

  • Access Time of Emergency Vehicles Under the Condition of Street Blockages After a Large Earthquake
    ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume IV-4/W1, 2016 1st International Conference on Smart Data and Smart Cities, 30th UDMS, 7–9 September 2016, Split, Croatia ACCESS TIME OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES UNDER THE CONDITION OF STREET BLOCKAGES AFTER A LARGE EARTHQUAKE N. Hirokawa a*, T. Osaragi b a Dept. of Mechanical and Environmental Informatics, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, - [email protected] b School of Environment and Society, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Earthquake, Street Blockages, Agent-based Simulation, Emergency Vehicle, Accessibility, Information Collection ABSTRACT: The previous studies have been carried out on accessibility in daily life. However it is an important issue to improve the accessibility of emergency vehicles after a large earthquake. In this paper, we analyzed the accessibility of firefighters by using a microscopic simulation model immediately after a large earthquake. More specifically, we constructed the simulation model, which describes the property damage, such as collapsed buildings, street blockages, outbreaks of fires, and fire spreading, and the movement of firefighters from fire stations to the locations of fires in a large-scale earthquake. Using this model, we analyzed the influence of the street-blockage on the access time of firefighters. In case streets are blocked according to property damage simulation, the result showed the average access time is more than 10 minutes in the outskirts of the 23 wards of Tokyo, and there are some firefighters arrive over 20 minutes at most. Additionally, we focused on the alternative routes and proposed that volunteers collect information on street blockages to improve the accessibility of firefighters.

  • Application to Become a Member of International Safe Community Network
    Application to become a member of International Safe Community Network December 2011 Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan Greetings from the City Mayor Toshima City has many historical and cultural assets which have been handed down from our ancestors. This is our home where we continue to generate energy for tomorrow. We have been promoting urban planning unique to each community while focusing on welfare and education. Toshima City has been developing as a city of cultural promotion, environment friendly, life-long health in the subcenter of Ikebukuro and surrounding areas. As we plan for the future and create a “City people want to live in and visit”, it is absolutely vital that we focus on “safety”. As home to around 270,000 people in a 13.01km2 area, Toshima City is a compact high-density urban area with Japan’s highest population density. Being a city where various people interact, Toshima City is a fertile ground where daily activities can create new values. On the other hand, we face challenges unique to a high-density urban area. Our first challenge is safety. The daytime population of Toshima City, including workers and students who come from outside the city, is around 380,000 people. Every day 2.54 million people pass through Ikebukuro Station, one of Tokyo’s bustling commerce areas, as they visit the city for shopping and other events. Crime and accidents increase when the density of people increases. In addition, Toshima City has many dense residential areas, so if an earthquake occurs directly below us, as has been predicted, we anticipate major damage.
