On this day, 39 years ago, on November 23, 1986 (October 22, 1986 in the lunar calendar), the Oshima volcano in Japan erupted. Oshima, located south of Tokyo, is a famous volcanic island under the jurisdiction of Tokyo and a tourist attraction. Local residents have always regarded the fire from Sanyuan Mountain in the center of the island as the "Imperial Divine Fire" and regarded it as the "patron saint" that brings luck. On November 15, fire broke out again in Sanyuan Mountain, which had been silent for 12 years. The fire flashed, the earth roared, and tourists gathered. Local tourism operators are excited and want to revitalize the tourism industry, which is currently at a low ebb, with spectacular fire-breathing scenery. However, no one expected that this "Imperial Shenhuo" would turn into a disaster that forced more than 10,000 islanders to evacuate the Big Island. In the early morning of November 23, Sanyuan Mountain began to release a large amount of energy, and the soaring fire spread in all directions along with magma. In addition to the old vents, sixteen new vents appeared, and an earthquake occurred at the same time. On the 23rd alone,"8 fourth-magnitude earthquakes occurred and 80 earthquakes were felt." The situation is getting more and more serious. In the face of this emergency, the Japan Meteorological Agency, which closely monitors the volcano, and the Tokyo Metropolitan authorities officially issued an order for all islanders to take refuge on the island at 10:50 that night. Staff of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Police Department, the Fire Department, the Self-Defense Force, the Coast Guard, and relevant personnel of companies and enterprises such as power, telephone, and gas have long been on alert. As soon as the emergency mobilization order was issued, they immediately dispatched ships to pick up the island residents. Despite the dark lights and difficulty in mobility, by 5:20 a.m. the next day, except for more than 200 staff, police, firefighters and monitoring personnel who stayed behind, more than 10,000 islanders were safely evacuated overnight without any casualties. At the same time, relevant departments in Tokyo have urgently arranged 40 refuge sites and prepared sufficient relief supplies. The Port Area Sports Center is one of the shelters. It housed more than 1600 islanders at peak times, and 30 Port Area government employees serve here. The Tokyo Metropolitan Health Bureau sent doctors and nurses. Dozens of washing machines and water boilers, bedding, food, medicines, and telephone calls are all provided free of charge. The 214 primary and secondary school students from Oshima were immediately assigned to primary and secondary schools in Minato District to continue their studies. Due to the emergency situation when evacuating the island, many residents did not close the door, turn off the tap, flameout, engaged in chicken, pig farming farmers are more worried about whether something happened at home. The police and firefighters who stayed behind inspected each house at the request of the residents. After November 24, the fire in Mount Mihara calmed down. However, minor earthquakes still occur frequently, 15 waters around the Big Island are still brown, and cracks appear in many roads. It is difficult to judge whether the volcano will erupt again. However, the livestock raised on the island need to be fed and the commercial flowers and plants need to be taken care of... The islanders are uneasy about this. On November 29, the authorities decided that starting from December 3, one person from each household will be sent back to the island by boat in batches and in batches. The stay on the island should not exceed 7 hours. If something happens, they must be gathered on the boat within 20 minutes. It is said that this situation may last until around December 20 before all islanders can go back to spend Christmas. The Oshima Spitfire and Tokyo's disaster relief activities reflect the Tokyo Metropolitan authorities '"response" capabilities. This ability is comprehensive and requires not only daily disaster prevention and relief training, but also people's high sense of responsibility and discipline. It is also inseparable from the material foundation such as modern transportation and smooth information. Disaster relief activities in Tokyo have provided useful experience and inspiration to people. News raw data sources → https://www.abtool.cn/today_detail/1cxa.html 17WorldNews[2025.09.15-03:41] 访问:78
