About heavy snow

Heavy snowfall not only affects local residents, but also people who visit areas with heavy snowfall for winter mountain climbing, skiing, and sightseeing. Heavy snowfall can cause avalanches, accidents that are unique to areas with heavy snowfall, such as falls while removing snow, as well as traffic accidents caused by frozen roads, falls while walking, etc. There are also disasters that occur outside of heavy snowfall areas.

When heavy snow occurs (preparation in advance)

[Collect the latest weather information][Stock up water, food, fuel (kerosene), etc. in case you can't go out due to snowfall][Be careful not to run out of medicine for a chronic disease][Prepare disposable warmers, spare batteries, flashlights, portable radios, etc. in case of a power outage][Take measures to prevent freezing, such as wrapping towels around water pipes and faucets]It is a good idea to do these five things.

Please wear non-slip boots. Wear gloves and keep your hands accessible at all times. Long-sleeved tops are best.

Drinking water and food (cup noodles, canned goods, etc.)

It is best to stay indoors as much as possible. This is because during heavy snow, visibility becomes poor and you lose your sense of direction. Moreover, forcing an evacuation is dangerous as there is a risk of drowning and freezing to death. If you become stranded in a city, please call the fire department or police for help as soon as you have a telephone line. If you find it difficult to return home, do not try to force yourself to return home, but instead stay outside, at your office, at a facility, etc.
