Admin’s Note

The recent news has made me reflect once again on the terrifying nature of natural disasters and their significant impact. In particular, the data showing that over 600 people have lost their lives and more than 4 million have been affected is shocking. Preparing for natural disasters is an issue that each of us should take seriously. As mentioned in the conversation between Chako and Log, it’s crucial to gather information and take appropriate measures. I feel we need to continue paying attention to such news and be prepared for the future.
