Overview
Several related disaster prevention items. The ward recruits fire corps members: anyone aged 18 or over in good health, whether employed or a student, can join for firefighting, awareness and first-aid training, and members receive an attendance allowance and accident compensation. The Tokyo Fire Department recruits registered volunteers aged 15 or over who live, work or study in its area and are willing to support fire crews after an earthquake. The ward pays half the cost of repairing or installing a registered emergency hand-pump well, up to 100,000 yen.
