It looks like Typhoon No. 14, one of the strongest on record, is expected to make landfall in Kyushu tomorrow, 9/18. Nishinomiya may also be affected from Monday 19th to Tuesday 20th.

So this time, Nishitsu is conducting an urgent survey about typhoon preparedness.

By sharing information tailored to Nishinomiya’s local characteristics, such as measures that worked well for you, we hope we can help minimize damage.

Survey responses may be introduced in an article‍※

Keep your car’s gas tank full
I brought the laundry poles indoors and tied down the fixtures that hold them.
This may be common sense, but don’t go outside unnecessarily. I think your own safety should come first.
Stay at home
If you have covers on your motorcycle or bicycle, strong winds could catch the covers and knock them over, so it’s a hassle, but it’s better to remove them.

For motorcycles and bicycles, it seems better to remove the covers if you have them on. That might be an easy thing to overlook.

 

Personally, measures that have worked well for me in the past include “putting all the family bicycles together tightly along a wall so they don’t fall over” (they really didn’t fall over!!) For this time, I’m also “keeping a portable power station ready in the living room” (last time there was a power outage, I had to scramble to get it out of storage after it got dark).

We’ll announce the survey results tomorrow, 9/18. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
