| Earthquakes |
Japan is a country that has many
earthquakes and there is the possibility of a major earthquake
occurring. In the worst case though, if there is an earthquake,
the shaking lasts for about one minute. When an earthquake occurs,
check your person for safety, --> take care of fires, -->
secure an exit, --> do not run out in panic, and --> walk
to a place of shelter.
Also take precautions such as always keeping emergency food
and a flashlight on hand, firmly attaching furniture to walls
or pillars, and so on. |
| Typhoons |
| In Japan, the typhoon season extends
from June to September. In a typhoon, damage such as flooding
from heavy rain or buildings collapsing from strong winds is
possible. Should a typhoon be approaching, take precautions
such as paying attention to the weather reports, preparing a
flashlight and transistor radio, reinforcing rain shutters and
roofs and so on.
