Disasters Which Might Occur in Ishikawa
〈Earthquake・Tsunami〉
Ishikawa has two fault zones. One is Morimoto-Togashi Fault Zone, which we introduce at Home. The other is Ouchigata Fault Zone in Noto area. Both of them are said to cause large earthquake in the near future.
Also, tsunami might occur like 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
〈Flood・Wind Damage・Landslide〉
These disasters might occur because of heavy rain. In recent years, Kaga area especially Komatsu and Hakusan have had a heavy rain in 2022, and some rivers overflowed.
〈Snow Damage〉
Power and water outage might occur caused by fallen trees in case of heavy snow. Also, snow melts and sometimes drops from the roof after snowing heavily, which might cause accident.
It is important to balance both enjoying yourself and paying attention a bit to these disasters during your trip.
Let's Carry a Pouch for Emergency Situation!
If disaster occurs while you are traveling, it is difficult to your home soon due to delay and suspension. In order to overcome such cases, it is better to bring household medicine a bit more than the number of days for a trip. You can also bring a little food for the emergency situation. It is useful to put them together in a pouch.
This is the picture of the contents of the pouch that one of us carries. Please refer to it when you make your own pouch!
