◎Information on emergency evacuation sites
Each stage area is equipped with a lightning protection dome (PDCE).
Unlike conventional lightning rods, the lightning protection dome (PDCE) is a suppression-type lightning rod designed to increase the probability of avoiding lightning strikes by protecting a certain area.

In case of severe weather or unforeseen circumstances, please follow the instructions of the staff and remain calm.
Please move away immediately from areas such as under tents or trees, as these areas are at high risk of lightning strikes.

In the event of severe thunderstorms or when they are predicted, the performance will be temporarily suspended, and emergency evacuation instructions will be provided. Once the evacuation site is ready to receive evacuees, guidance will begin. At that time, all power to the stage will be shut down, so it may take some time to restore power. The performance will resume once preparations are complete. Once preparations are complete, staff will announce the situation via public announcements and the app.

Emergency evacuation sites are as follows:
・EXPO '70 Pavilion (former Steel Pavilion)
・Expo Memorial Stadium (east side of the park)
・Shuttle buses on standby (Expo Memorial Park Central Parking Lot)
・Panasonic Stadium Suita (south side of the park)
Depending on the area within the venue, we will guide you to the appropriate evacuation site.
Due to the large number of visitors, we ask for your cooperation in maintaining calm.

Additionally, the Expo Memorial Park is designated as a wide-area evacuation site in the event of an earthquake or fire. If you notice any abnormalities, please remain calm, move away from stages or temporary structures, and ensure your safety. If necessary, staff will begin making announcements and guiding visitors.
