When it snows

In Japan, it sometimes snows from January to February.
When it snows heavily, snow accumulates on the roads, which can become icy and dangerous.
It is dangerous to go out during heavy snowfall, so please try to stay at home as much as possible.
You may not be able to buy food, so make sure you have food and drinks at home on a daily basis.
It would also be helpful to have a flashlight and a portable radio.
To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, be careful not to block the air supply and exhaust ports of your FF heater with snow.
(Reference) Yokohama City website

If heavy snow is likely to fall, please check the Yokohama City Disaster Prevention Information Portal.
It can be viewed in Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, Portuguese, English, Korean, Chinese (simplified), and Chinese (traditional).

We have opened a portal site for foreigners in the event of a disaster.

The Yokohama City International Association has set up a disaster portal site for foreigners.
In normal times, disaster prevention information mainly for foreigners, and in the event of a disaster, information on the Yokohama Disaster Information Center for Foreign Residents will be sent from this site.
We plan to add multilingual pages in the future.
