Natural disaster (typhoon and earthquake)◆Typhoon
In Japan, typhoon season usually lasts from July through October. In a typhoon, heavy windand rain can cause flooding and structures to collapse. In order to lessen the danger posed bytyphoons, please take the following precautions:
1. Keep informed of the current situation via radio or TV.
2. Evacuate indoors. Refrain from going outside-- the high winds of a typhoon can cause
objects to fly through the air, potentially causing harm.
3. Move potted plants and bicycles to inside the house or fix them before the typhoon
arrives.
4. Close the storm shutters to protect windows from flying objects caused by strong winds.
5. Get prepared to evacuate if you are on a mountain, a slope, or a lower ground such asnear a river.
6. Have a flashlight and portable radio ready in case of a power outage.
7. Keep an adequate amount of emergency food and water on hand.

◆Earthquake
Japan is a country that experiences many earthquakes. After a big earthquake, aftershocks
may occur afterwards. In order to lessen the danger posed by earthquakes, take the following
precautions:
1. Protect yourself from falling objects during the shaking (ex. getting under a table).
2. Turn off any fires after the tremors of the earthquake stops.
3. Keep entrance doors open as a means of escape.
Don’t escape in a panic.
4. If a fire breaks out, let people know first then extinguish it
immediately.
5. Because of the risk of falling objects, avoid narrow streetsand concrete-block walls.
6. Mountain and cliffs pose landslide dangers.
Avoid walking near them.
7. Evacuate to the evacuation site by foot.
8. Work with others to provide aid and relief.
9. Get accurate information from the radio or TV.
Make it a habit to remember your designated evacuation area, as well as the evacuationroute.
