Designated evacuation sites

Municipalities designate evacuation sites per hazard. A site designated for an earthquake may not be designated for a tsunami. Pick what is happening.

Where to go during 指定緊急避難場所 — Designated to escape immediate danger while it is happening.
Where to stay after 指定避難所 — Designated for staying when you cannot go home. Often a different building.

The data exists and is public. 国土地理院 publishes every municipality’s designated evacuation sites, per hazard, with coordinates. It has not been imported yet.

Nothing here is a placeholder for something we intend to write ourselves. Every site on this page, when there are any, will be a municipality’s own designation, reproduced. We do not decide where anybody should go and we do not write evacuation advice.

If you need this today, the publisher’s own site is https://www.gsi.go.jp/bousaichiri/hinanbasho.html.

Published by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (国土地理院) under 公共データ利用規約 1.0. We have filtered and re-rendered the data; the designations are the municipalities’, not ours.

Coverage is not all of Japan. The publisher states that facilities may exist which are not disclosed at a municipality’s request. An absence here is not evidence that a place has no designated site. Ask your municipality.
