ブログ連載記事を書いている間に、東北電力管内・新潟、山形など
日本海側地域で大雪との情報。で、この時期の大雪では
電線架線に湿った雪が降り積もり、停電のリスクが顕著に増大する。
・・・という情報について読者の住宅研究者のT氏から至急のメール。
「アー来ちゃったという湿った雪の猛吹雪。
残念ながら、報道は車の渋滞の記事ばかりでして．．．。
2022/12/19 19:05分現在　東北電力管内で18200戸で停電。
東北電力も鋭意復旧中と思いますが、吹雪のなかの作業ですから
すぐに復旧にはなりにくい。・・・」というお知らせ。
昨日は札幌市内で日中でも外気温-4度という急な冷え込みでわたしも外出時、
非常に寒気〜さむけ〜を感じて帰宅後、その体感した寒気が風邪に至らないように
養生に専心しておりました。冬の最盛時よりも油断のあるこの時期の方が
より注意すべき時期であるとも思います。
冬場「停電」というのは寒冷地では即刻で室温低下をもたらし、
ライフラインに直結する機能を停止させてしまう。
とくにいまの感染症との戦いの時期には要注意となる。
不安な心理とか、健康被害の引き金にもなり得る。
ということで注意喚起のためにReplanWEBに過去掲載の記事をご紹介します。

停電時も安心で、役に立つ。最小限のオフグリッドとは？
LDKをシェルター化！冬の停電でも凍えない家づくりの工夫
停電時の味方、石油ストーブ。使うときの注意点とは？
の３本の記事になります。
これらは2018年9月の北海道全域停電の経験を踏まえたもの。
〜北海道全域の大停電からおよそ1ヵ月半後。今回のような大停電への備え方と、
それがもし冬場に起こったときの対処の仕方、ということで
旭川市にある北方建築総合研究所所長の鈴木大隆さんを訪ねました。
鈴木さんは長年に渡って北海道をはじめ日本の家づくりの研究に携わってきた、
いわば日本の住宅建築のエキスパート。新潟県の中越地震や東日本大震災などの
大きな災害時には現地で建物被害状況調査や被災者の方々の
暮らし・住まいの再建に関わるなど、災害時の住環境の実態についても造詣が深い。〜
という一連の記事であります。

いま、停電中の各地のみなさんはまさに、
給湯・暖房・照明はストップ。いつ復旧するか判らない心細い夜。
もちろん急迫する事態に対してはこういう情報は即応できるものではない。
住宅の対応として、万が一に対応できる住宅性能を用意しましょうということになる。
不眠不休に近い停電復旧努力を続けている現場のみなさんの労苦を思いつつ、
これからもあり得るこうした暮らしの中の不安について
その「凌ぎ方・心理の持ち方」なども考えていく必要があると言えますね。

[Urgent Report / Power Outages in Niigata and Other Wet Snow Areas – ReplanWEB Reference Article
A blizzard of wet snow with a high risk of power outages. Traffic jams are one thing, but how should we think about how to spend a winter night in the midst of anxiety psychology? …

While writing this blog series, I was informed of heavy snowfall in the Tohoku Electric Power Company service area, Niigata, Yamagata, and other areas on the Sea of Japan coast.
and Niigata, Yamagata, and other areas on the Sea of Japan side of the country. And with heavy snowfall at this time of year, the risk of power outages increases markedly.
The risk of power outages increases significantly due to the accumulation of wet snow on overhead power lines.
Mr. T, a housing researcher, sent us an urgent e-mail about this information.
It’s a blizzard of wet snow,” he said.
Unfortunately, the news reports are all about traffic jams…” (2022/12/19 19:00)
As of 19:05 on 12/19/2022, 18,200 households in Tohoku Electric Power Company’s service area are without power.
Tohoku Electric is working hard to restore power, but since they are working in the middle of a blizzard
The power is unlikely to be restored anytime soon. The power is not restored immediately.
Yesterday, it was suddenly cold in Sapporo, with outside temperatures as low as -4 degrees Celsius even during the daytime, and I felt very cold when I went out.
When I went out, I felt a chill or a chill, and after returning home, I was trying to cure myself so that the chill I felt would not lead to a cold.
I was trying to take good care of myself so that the cold I felt would not turn into a cold. I think we should be more careful this time of year when we are more careless than in the height of winter.
I think this is the time to be more careful.
In winter, a “power outage” can cause an immediate drop in room temperature in cold regions
This is especially true in the current battle against infectious diseases.
This is especially important during this time of year when we are battling infectious diseases.
It could trigger anxiety and health hazards.
So as a reminder, here are some articles that have appeared on ReplanWEB in the past.

Safe and useful during power outages. What is the minimum off-grid?
Shelter the LDK! How to build a house that won’t freeze even during a winter power outage
Oil heaters are your friend during power outages. What are the precautions to take when using it?
The three articles will be based on the following three articles.
These are based on the experience of the September 2018 Hokkaido-wide power outage.
~About a month and a half after the Hokkaido-wide blackout. How to prepare for a major power outage like this one, and
how to deal with it if it happens in the wintertime.
We visited Mr. Daitaka Suzuki, director of the Northern Architectural Research Institute in Asahikawa City.
Mr. Suzuki is an expert on Japanese house building, having spent many years researching house building in Hokkaido and other parts of Japan.
He is, so to speak, an expert on Japanese residential architecture. He has also been involved in the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake, the Great East Japan Earthquake, and other major disasters.
During major disasters such as the Chuetsu Earthquake in Niigata Prefecture and the Great East Japan Earthquake, he was on site to survey the damage to buildings and to help the victims rebuild their lives and homes.
He is also well versed in the realities of the living environment in times of disaster, having been involved in building damage assessments and rebuilding the lives and homes of disaster victims. ~.
I am very familiar with the reality of the living environment at the time of a disaster.

The people in the areas where the power is out right now are in a state of emergency.
Hot water, heating, and lighting have stopped. It is a night of uncertainty as to when the power will be restored.
Of course, this kind of information is not an immediate response to an urgent situation.
The response of the house is to prepare the performance of the house to cope with any eventuality.
While thinking of the labor and hardship of the people on site who have been working tirelessly to restore the power outage, I also think of the anxiety and anxiety of the people living in such a situation, which may continue in the future.
I would like to talk about the anxiety in our daily lives that is likely to continue in the future.
We also need to think about how we can cope with such uncertainties in our daily lives.
