간단 답변
Yokohama is a coastal city — be aware of both earthquake and tsunami risks. Evacuation shelters include local schools and community centers. For the coastal Naka-ku and Minato-Mirai areas, move to higher ground (Yamate hill area) if a tsunami warning is issued. Install the "Safety 팁s" app for multilingual alerts. Yokohama City provides a multilingual disaster guide at ward offices and on its website.

Tsunami Risk
Yokohama's coastal areas (Naka-ku, Kanagawa-ku, Tsurumi-ku waterfront) have tsunami risk. If you feel a strong earthquake or hear a tsunami warning, immediately move to higher ground. The Yamate hill area is the nearest high ground from Chinatown. Do not wait for official instructions — move immediately. Yokohama City has installed tsunami evacuation signs throughout coastal areas.
자주 묻는 질문
Q: Is there tsunami risk in Yokohama?
A: Yes, in coastal areas. Yokohama Bay has some protection, but a large earthquake could generate waves. Know your nearest high ground — the Yamate hill area for Chinatown/Kannai, or upper floors of reinforced buildings.
Q: How do I get earthquake alerts in English?
A: Install the Safety 팁s app (free, multilingual) and NHK World. J-Alert sends automatic warnings to all phones. Yokohama City's multilingual email alert system can be registered at your ward office.
