Description

The nursing facility C located near the Sashiki River was flooded due to Heavy Rain in July 2020. The survey method was an interview survey on the damage situation and evacuation behavior. In addition, a flood inundation analysis was conducted. Judging from both the execution and the process of flooding, facility C missed the timing of the evacuation action. The main reasons were that the event was beyond one’s expectation, information was not helpful, lack of manpower, flooded water rose fast. The lessons of this experience are action plan using information, nighttime emergency system, evacuation drills with multiple patterns. For the safety of elderly people, both an evacuation security plan and a business continuity plan (BCP) are needed. On the other hand, there are administrative issues related to wide-area evacuation. Deregulation of the long-term care insurance system and simplification of administrative procedures are desirable.
