Let's prevent heatstroke

It is important to take measures appropriate to each location to prevent heatstroke.
Refer to the following and implement appropriate measures.
The Ministry of the Environment issues a "Heatstroke Warning Alert" when there is a risk of heatstroke due to significantly high temperatures, and a "Special Heatstroke Warning Alert" when there is an unprecedentedly dangerous level of heat over a wide area that may cause serious health damage to people.

In addition, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government issues "Tokyo Heat Information," which provides disaster-level heat information by city and encourages countermeasures.

In Inagi City, when various warning alerts are issued, we will appropriately inform citizens through email distribution and other means.
