Thoughts on Disaster Prevention Day: Preparing to "protect your head"

1. [What is Disaster Prevention Day?]

September 1st is Disaster Prevention Day

It occurred on September 1, 1923"Great Kanto Earthquake"It comes from.
This major earthquake caused enormous damage, especially in Tokyo and Yokohama, with over 100,000 people dead or missing.

In order to remember this lesson and raise awareness of preparing for natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons,

Disaster Prevention Day was established by the government in 1960.

Even now in 2025, natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons continue to occur in various places.
Disasters are not something that will happen "someday" but something that can happen "at any time"
That's why daily preparation and awareness can help protect yourself and your loved ones.
Why not use this Disaster Prevention Day as an opportunity to reconsider disaster prevention measures?

2. [What to do on Disaster Prevention Day]

<Check the expiration dates of emergency food and drinking water>

Even if you think, "It's okay because it can be stored for a long time," it's not uncommon to find that the expiration date has passed before you realize it.
Also, by trying it once, you can not only check the taste and ease of eating, but also understand how to cook it and what tools you will need.

　Cycle of stockpiling ⇒ eating ⇒ stockpilingRolling stock!

By actually experiencing it, you will be prepared to use it with confidence in an emergency.

<How to confirm safety and evacuation routes>

During a disaster, it can be difficult to contact family members, coworkers, or colleagues at facilities.
Discuss how you will check on each other's safety on a regular basis, and make sure everyone knows the safe evacuation routes.

<Check the contents of your emergency bag>

Regularly check that any food, medicine, lights, etc. stored inside are in working order.
Replace or replenish as needed so you have things ready to use in an emergency.

3. [What are some often-forgotten ways to protect your body?]

While it is important to stockpile supplies and check evacuation routes, another thing that is often overlooked is "preparing to protect yourself."
