Do you have emergency supplies prepared?

Japan is a country that is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and heavy rains.
The key to saving lives is being able to take appropriate action when a disaster occurs.

It's important to always have disaster supplies prepared!
We recommend regularly checking the expiration dates of your stored food, buying a little more than you normally would, and using a method of stockpiling called "rolling stock" - buying new food only as you use it

◆Basic disaster supplies◆

◎ Disaster supplies to take with you

It's a good idea to stock them in a backpack in advance so you can easily take them with you when you need to evacuate your home in the event of a fire or tsunami caused by an earthquake!


Make sure you have enough for at least 3 days!

◆Easy-to-use extra tips◆

Of course you should stock up on water and food, but you should also have blankets and generators...

Items that you probably have at home, that are cheap, and that are unexpected, can come in handy in the event of a disaster!

・Heat-resistant plastic bags

During disasters, gas and water may be unavailable, but this is very useful in times like these. You can boil vegetables and cook rice.

Cooking with only a small amount of water is possible, so precious water is not wasted.

・Plastic bottles

It can be used to store water and is also useful during power outages.

Add a bottle of water to your flashlight and the water will diffuse the light, allowing you to light the room evenly

・newspaper

Did you know that it can actually be an excellent insulator in the event of a cold season disaster?

When laid on the ground, it protects against the cold, and when wrapped around the body, it keeps you warm.

To ensure you can act calmly in the event of a sudden disaster, be sure to review with your family disaster supplies, evacuation locations, contact information, etc.!
