In recent years, there is some disaster every year. Considering the disaster and evacuation with the baby, the worries and anxiety are more likely to be more than an adult.
Baby & Me Official Instagram the other day, we welcomed a disaster prevention agent, Watanabe Rika, and conducted a collaboration -in streets, talked about disaster prevention, and talked about actual experiences in the Great East Japan Earthquake. Based on what Watanabe taught, let's check the disaster prevention again.

What is disaster prevention?


According to the Cabinet Office website, "Disaster Prevention Information Page", Japan is a "typhoon, heavy rain, heavy snowfall, floods, sediment -related disasters, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc."
Disaster prevention means that we, living in Japan, where various disasters are likely to occur, to prevent disasters and to minimize the damage they receive.
You need to be prepared on a regular basis to protect your family's lives, including your baby.

What is safety?


"Safety" is the opposite of danger. In the first place, what kind of state does it mean?
In one, there is less risk of being threatened or injured. Hygiene without worrying about illness infectionThe state may be included.
Knowing the houses you live, and the dangerous places and safe places in the area will allow you to evacuate without panic in case of emergency.

In the event of an earthquake, the durability of the building locks the key.
It is safe because the building that meets the seismic standards specified by the Building Standards Law has been proved to be able to withstand an earthquake with a certain strength. On May 31, 1981, the law revision will be divided into "old earthquake resistance" and "new earthquake resistance". It is a good idea to check which house applies to.
In the house, four things that fall, fall down, those that roll and slide, and what are cracked are dangerous. It is a safe environment if there are no such measures, such as preventing falling and preventing glass scattering.
Regarding the dangers of the region, the hazard map published by local governments will be helpful. 
Regarding disasters, the absolute manual of "this is safe" does not exist, because the type, scale, and surrounding environment vary. There is no correct answer. Assuming various situations, you need to find the safety that suits you.

First of all, what is important?

The important thing is to know what disasters can occur in the area where you live. And it is important to be aware of disaster prevention on a regular basis.

What is a hazard map?


A hazard map is a map that indicates a place that seems to be dangerous and evacuation sites when a disaster occurs. Dangerous places, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and sediment -related disasters, change in dangerous places for each type of natural disaster, so you need to check each map.
Because it is color -coded according to the degree of danger, it is a guide to find out how dangerous the area you live in the area and consider evacuation.
In addition to just looking at the map, you can actually walk in the neighborhood, check the risk of what changes are likely to occur in the event of a disaster, and check the safe evacuation sites and evacuation routes. And it is safe.

Not always damaged at home

I don't know when the disaster will happen. There is a possibility that you will be damaged outside of your home. Be sure to check the hazard maps and the visual dangerous and safe places not only at home but also around your workplace and places you often visit. We recommend that you simulate how to return home when a disaster occurs on the go.

How do you protect your baby?


Flood and landslides have relatively time from heavy rain to the cause to the occurrence of disasters, so it is easy to take measures, such as evacuating with the baby, but earthquakes occur instantly without warning.
You may not be able to move as you think the shaking is large, and you may not be able to go to your baby even in the same room. Wait until the shaking has subsided and head to the baby. In order to ensure safety during the time lag, it is important to pay attention to the arrangement of furniture, etc. on a daily basis so that things do not fall or fall over the baby, so that you do not sleep under the lights and windows.

Is it true that there is a pose that can protect your baby?

In the event of an earthquake, if your baby and mom daddy are the same, you will protect your baby with a "dumpling pose" that protects your life.
Mama Dad sits upright, opens his knees, and covers the baby's shoulders and limbs from above so that they fit between the thighs of the mama dad. Mama daddy should protect his back of his head with both hands in case the object falls or falls.

The purpose of dumplings poses is to protect your head. First of all, it is important to protect yourself in a safe place.

What about evacuation?


Depending on the type and degree of disaster, it is determined whether to evacuate to shelters or evacuation at home. If you have a baby, it is often inconvenient at evacuation centers, so if you can check your home safety, it may be good to evacuate at home.
In the case of an earthquake, the seismic standard at home is also a criterion.
As mentioned in "What I usually want to be conscious of", there is a place in the house where you can avoid four danger (falling, falling, moving, or cracking). If you prepare a room alone, it will be useful for temporarily evacuating or spending a while in home evacuation.

◆ Points of evacuation with a baby

Hugging and piggybacking are safe because the accusations in the event of a disaster are often unstable for children who can walk. It is important that adults can use both hands using a hug.
When evacuating, it is said that a piggyback, which has a wide field of view and increases mobility.

What are the tips for stockpiling?


In the event of a disaster, there is a possibility that the period of food, water, and daily necessities will not be available. In the case of evacuation from home, it can be cooked using a cassette stove even if gas or electricity stops, so it can be used by rolling the usual ingredients. If you want to evacuate to a place other than the house, it is convenient to eat it without using a fire that is suitable for carrying.

In addition, the ingredients that are usually familiar will also lead to "stress relief" in shelters.
It is recommended not only to stock emergency foods, but also to sample your favorite snacks that you can sample from everyday life.

It is necessary to have enough milk, baby food, and diapers for babies. It is a good idea to roll rolling on a regular basis.
