disaster
Japan is a country that experiences many typhoons and earthquakes. Be careful not to get injured in dangerous situations. Also, you don't know when it will happen, so be prepared for your safety.
what to prepare
Disaster prevention drill/evacuation drill
Disaster prevention drills and evacuation drills involve practicing in advance how to safely escape, how to put out fires, and how to respond in the event of an earthquake or storm. In Japan, companies and schools hold disaster prevention and evacuation drills every year. Attend disaster prevention and evacuation drills at your workplace. If the company you work for does not conduct disaster prevention and evacuation drills, practice at the fire station in your town (where disaster prevention and evacuation drills are available).
emergency bag
An emergency carry-on bag is a bag in which you can put things you need to take with you when you escape. For example, you can store valuables such as your passport, residence card, bankbook, cash, National Health Insurance card, food, water, clothes, towels, handbags, electricity, rope, flashlights, evacuation map, charger, medicine, etc. Let's leave it.
Research evacuation sites in advance

- When the shaking stops, turn off the gas and fire.
- Turn off the power by turning off the breaker switch.
- If it is a small fire, do what you can to put out the fire yourself.
- When you go outside, check to see if there is anything dangerous above or below you.
- If you are outside, protect your head with a helmet, hat, bag, etc. to prevent head injuries.
Be careful after an earthquake
There is a high possibility that connections will occur after a large earthquake. If you live near the sea, go to a safe place (evacuation area). If you don't know where to evacuate, ask the Japanese people around you, or if you don't have time or are in a hurry, run to a higher place immediately.
