Admin’s Note

The recent earthquake in Chiba Prefecture was quite strong, but fortunately there was no risk of a tsunami. Since earthquakes can happen at any time, it’s crucial to stay prepared. In particular, stocking up on food supplies and confirming evacuation locations are essential. The importance of preparedness was highlighted in the conversation between Chako and Log, but it’s equally important to think specifically about what you should prepare.
