In Tokyo and the southern part of the Kanto area, concern has
been voiced over the occurrence of chokka-gata earthquakes with their
focuses directly below cities. With earthquake preparedness as the most important issue,the Tokyo Fire Department comprehensively promoters the followinng eight issues:
|
Fire Rescue Task Forces |
Disaster drill with residents |
The TFD Volunteers at drill |
Firefighting Water Sources | |
With cooperation from citizens, the Tokyo Fire
Department promotes the construction of earthquake resistive fire cisterns,
underground water tanks below buildings,etc. to prepare for earthquake
fires. For firefighting, the Department delivers water from the sea, rivers, large reservoirs, etc. to deal with large urban fires like those in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Additionally, there is the Fire Hydrant Information System for effective firefighting operations. With a lot of waterworks being earthquake-resistive, fire hydrants' dependability increased. This led to the introduction of the system which assesses the availability of fire hydrants to cope with earthquake fires. |
