BOSAI KAMAKURAEvacuation shelters in Kamakura
Shelter
In order to ensure the safety of citizens in the event of a disaster or the threat of a disaster, Kamakura City will open evacuation centers as necessary. Since the opening status varies depending on the damage, the opening status will be announced via the Disaster Prevention and Administration Radio, the Kamakura City Hall website, and the evacuation center opening and congestion status distribution service “VACAN”.
In the event of an earthquake disaster
When an earthquake of seismic intensity 5 or higher is observed in the city or adjacent Fujisawa City, Zushi City, or Sakae, Kanazawa, or Totsuka wards of Yokohama City, municipal elementary and junior high schools will automatically be opened as evacuation centers. Temporary accommodation facilities will also be opened, if necessary, for tourists and other people who have difficulty returning home.
In the event of wind and flood damage
Evacuation centers opened in the event of wind and flood damage such as typhoons and heavy rains will be opened as necessary at municipal elementary schools and branch offices depending on the situation of the disaster.
Temporary accommodation facilities (for those who are unable to return home)
This is a facility where people who have difficulty returning home from an outing due to a disaster can stay temporarily, and will be opened depending on the situation.

Opening of evacuation centers and checking the congestion status
You can check the congestion status of the evacuation center with your smartphone or other device
When the city opens an evacuation center in the event of a disaster, it is possible to check the location and congestion status of the evacuation center using a smartphone or computer using the “VACAN” service for opening and distributing the congestion status of the evacuation center.
“VACAN” can also be checked by those who live outside the city. If you don’t have a smartphone or computer, or if you’re not good at handling it, you can check with a family member or acquaintance who lives far away and share it.
The congestion status of evacuation centers is displayed on four levels: “vacant”, “moderately crowded”, “crowded”, and “full”.
