Manhole Toilet

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki



Example of manhole toilet

A manhole toilet is a simple toilet setup on a sewer manhole used during disasters.

Bathroom facilities are one of the biggest issues at evacuation facilities after disasters like large earthquakes. Water supply is usually restored relatively quickly, but bathroom facilities are not handled as well. Many municipal governments encourage the use of Twin Bucket Toilets for residential houses and evacuation sites. Larger facilities are needed for long-term evacuations. It is also called a "disaster toilet", "toilet for disaster", and "disaster preventative toilet".


Toilet for disaster (Manhole Toilet)

Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism started using manhole toilets by placing a simple toilet over a public sewage manhole. There were many problems because manholes are located on public roads.
