Yokohama City Enhances Disaster Preparedness with New Information Stickers on Postal Boxes in Kohoku Ward
Yokohama, Japan – August 1, 2025 – Yokohama City is taking a proactive step to bolster disaster preparedness within its community by deploying specially designed “Disaster Information Stickers” on all 157 postal boxes located throughout Kohoku Ward. This initiative, announced today, aims to provide crucial safety information directly to residents in a readily accessible format.
The decision to implement this program stems from Yokohama City’s ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens, particularly in the face of potential natural disasters. The stickers are designed to offer essential guidance and contact details that can be vital during emergency situations.
Each sticker will feature important information such as emergency contact numbers for local authorities and disaster response agencies, as well as basic safety tips and instructions on what to do in the event of an earthquake, fire, or other emergencies. The clear and concise design is intended to be easily understood by a wide range of residents, including children and the elderly.
By affixing these stickers to postal boxes, which are a common and visible feature in neighborhoods across Kohoku Ward, the city aims to maximize their reach and impact. Postal boxes serve as a daily touchpoint for many residents, making them an ideal platform for disseminating vital preparedness information. This strategic placement ensures that the guidance is available when and where it might be needed most.
This initiative is a collaborative effort, highlighting the city’s dedication to a community-wide approach to disaster mitigation. It is anticipated that these stickers will serve as a constant reminder of the importance of preparedness and empower residents with the knowledge to act effectively during a crisis.
Yokohama City encourages all residents of Kohoku Ward to familiarize themselves with the information provided on these new stickers and to incorporate the suggested safety measures into their household disaster preparedness plans. The city hopes that this measure will contribute significantly to building a more resilient and prepared community for all its inhabitants.
