Admin’s Note

The recent news about the precipitation band in Fukuoka and Kumamoto really reminded us of the frightening nature of natural disasters. I was particularly impressed by how Chako showed interest and how Log explained the situation theoretically. I believe that through conversations like these, we can deepen our understanding of disasters. I want to emphasize once again that having knowledge about disaster prevention can be invaluable in times of need.
