Admin’s Note

The recent special warning for landslides serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by natural disasters. It’s especially crucial for families with children and elderly members to take safety precautions seriously. I believe it’s important to have questions like Chako does and to deepen our knowledge. I recommend taking this opportunity to discuss disaster preparedness with your family, reviewing evacuation routes and safety measures together. Let’s remember that we cannot go against the forces of nature and always strive to be prepared.
