Log: Right. Around the 24th, it might get really rainy in the Kanto area too, so we need to be careful.

Admin’s Note

With the rainy season expected to bring unstable weather, there are particular concerns about heavy rainfall. I thought this article serves as a good prompt to consider measures we can take at home. From Chako’s comments, it’s clear that the children are feeling anxious, and it made me realize the importance of us adults providing solid support. Stockpiling supplies and checking evacuation locations are crucial for when emergencies arise. I encourage everyone to take a moment to review their own preparations.
