~September1Disaster Prevention Day~

 

Many people may be taking this Disaster Prevention Day as an opportunity to review their emergency supplies, such as emergency food, water, and flashlights.

But when checking disaster preparedness supplies,One thing that's surprisingly easy to forget is [something to protect your head].is.

During disasters such as earthquakes, there is a risk of head injuries from falling furniture or objects.

Are you prepared to protect your head in case of an emergency?

 


~"We have disaster prevention hoods and helmets, but..."~

 

When you think of disaster preparedness items that protect your head, the first things that probably come to mind are "disaster prevention hoods" and "helmets."

 

Disaster prevention hoodIt is flame-retardant, which is useful in case of fire.

helmetIt protects your head from impact.

 

on the other hand,

"A disaster prevention hood alone is not enough."

"We want to protect them from both fire and head injuries."

"Helmets take up storage space."

"How do you store the necessary number of items in facilities, etc."?

"I want something that my child won't mind wearing."

The points of concern will vary depending on where you plan to install it and who will be using it.


~Not just "being prepared," but also "whether it can be used"~

 

Disaster preparedness supplies are not just about "being prepared,"Can you take it out and use it immediately when you need it?That is also important.

 

For example, if you don't know where something is stored, you'll have to search for it in an emergency.

Furthermore, even if you want to provide enough for everyone, storage space can become a major challenge.

 

That's why, when reviewing your disaster preparedness supplies,

"Where should we put it?"
"Who will use it?"
"Can you get it out right away?"
"Can you actually wear it?"

I recommend thinking about it up to that point.


Therefore, the option of a "disaster prevention head guard"~

When it comes to disaster preparedness supplies, it's not just about performance; it's also important whether people will actually wear them.

The disaster prevention head guard is shaped similarly to a kindergarten hat with a flap.

The design is such that it doesn't easily cover the face or ears, and allows for a clear field of vision.It is as it is.

Additionally, the chin strap is adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit to your head.

 

This can be considered as an option for people who don't like helmets, or for young children.
