A representative from Yonaguni, a city just 110 kilometers from Taiwan, said, “We have no choice but to rely on transportation from the state and prefectural government. We need to prepare in advance.”
The report pointed out that the island’s evacuation operations mainly rely on civilian aircraft and ships, as the top priority of the Japanese Self-Defense Force in such a crisis is to eliminate national security threats. The Okinawa government has asked airlines, ferry companies and other designated transportation service agencies to cooperate.
The Okinawa prefectural government estimated that by expanding flight and ship traffic, more than 20,000 people could be evacuated from Sakishima Island per day, and that the evacuation would take a total of 6 days.
