April ①Join a neighborhood association! ② Learn about the birth of Naka Ward!

Q1. I just moved here and don’t know much about the area yet.
A1. Joining a neighborhood association makes it easier to receive information from the local authorities and notices about the community. It would be great if you could establish a good relationship with your neighbors by getting to know them through community cleanup activities and other initiatives spearheaded by neighborhood associations. Once you get to know the people around you, you can turn to them if you want to talk about any problems or find out about things happening in the community.

Q2. I am raising a child. Are there any events that my child can attend?
A2. Neighborhood associations hold a variety of events, such as summer festivals and sports days, which provide opportunities for children and guardians to get to know each other. Please feel free to get involved!

Q3. I am worried about disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons.
A3. Neighborhood associations maintain stockpiles and conduct disaster drills in preparation for disasters. By participating in disaster drills on a regular basis, you will be able to act calmly in the event of an emergency. Recently, some communities are also considering measures for pets should a disaster strike.

Q4. I would like to do something for the community.
A4. Even if you are unable to participate in activities because of your work schedule, we would appreciate it if you could help us in any way you can, such as by assisting at events or giving advice on how to use a computer. Some communities regularly patrol the streets and watch over children on their way to and from school, so we need your help!

In order to be ready for times of emergency, neighborhood associations cooperate with the local authorities to prepare for disasters by conducting regular drills at evacuation shelters (evacuation sites) and managing emergency stockpiles.

Neighborhood associations hold festivals, club activities, and other recreational activities to create opportunities for people in the community to spend time and socialize.

Neighborhood associations hold parenting salons and dinner parties for senior citizens living alone, and work with the entire community to support those raising children, promote health, and watch out for senior citizens.

Neighborhood associations work to create a clean and livable community through maintenance of garbage collection points, cleanup activities, community collection of recyclables, and other efforts.

Neighborhood associations work to create a safe and secure community through crime prevention patrols around town and by watching over children on their way to and from school.
