Due to meteorological and geographical conditions, Japan is prone to natural
disasters such as seasonal typhoons and intense rainfalls that are usually
caused by seasonal rain fronts. These disasters have often led to great
losses of property and lives.
Aiming to help local residents evacuate safely and quickly in case of a
flood, the Nagaoka City Flood Evacuation Map disctribes possible flood
areas, their estimated damage, and information about locations of evacuation
shelters.

The city of Nagaoka has compiled a leaflet entitled "Leaflet for Evacuation
in Case of an Earthquake."
This leaflet gives pictographic informarion which advises international
residents what to do first when an earthquake occurs, where to seek information,
and where you should stay away from.At a glance, the specially designed
pictographs can immediately give you ideas on what to do in case of an
earthquake.
Unfolding the leaflet reveals some detailed knowledge about earthquakes
in Chinese, English, or Portuguese.
The final page can be used as an information card with all the necessary
information about yourself , including your name, adress, the location
of your nearest shelter, languages you speak, your coutry embassy phone
number, and an emargency contact person both in Japan and in your home
country. Showing this information card to Japanese or someone who reads
Japanese during an evacuation will certainly help you get to an evacuation
shelter more safely.
