Safety and Disaster Preparedness in Shiodome

Higashi-Shimbashi 1-chome, where Shiodome Station is located, and Higashi-Shimbashi 2-chome are within the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department's Atago Police Station. The district has extensive office buildings, underground routes and elevated pedestrian decks, but safety should not be judged simply by the area's modern appearance. Police crime information and nighttime conditions around the exact property should also be checked. Because Shiodome lies close to Tokyo Bay, disaster planning should cover not only earthquakes but tsunami, storm surge, river and stormwater flooding, and liquefaction. As of September 9, 2026, Minato City publishes hazard maps covering tsunami, liquefaction, earthquake shaking and inundation. Conditions can differ among Higashi-Shimbashi, Kaigan and Hamamatsucho even within the same broader station catchment. Residents and workers in high-rise buildings should also understand building-specific emergency plans, backup power, stored supplies, elevator shutdown procedures and arrangements for people unable to return home.
