Admin’s Note

The recent earthquake in Hokkaido served as a reminder of the importance of preparedness. It particularly emphasized the need for actions to take during an earthquake and the necessity of prior preparation. It’s also important to encourage those around us, just like Chako did. Since earthquakes can occur anywhere and at any time, we should make it a point to stay prepared on a daily basis. Additionally, I felt that sharing information on social media is an important tool as well. We need to continue raising awareness about earthquakes moving forward.
