September is the Disaster Prevention MonthPrepare against earthquakes(９月は防災月間です)
An earthquake may occur anytime, anywhere. We should prepare against earthquakes in our daily life.
●Disaster Preparedness Map
Take a close look at “The Nisshin Disaster Preparedness Map” and know the risks that could affect your area in caseof disasters. Check your nearest evacuation shelter and route to get there. You can download “the Nisshin Disaster
Preparedness Map” via Nisshin City website or get a copy at the window of Disaster Prevention and Traffic Safety
Div. in the city hall.
●Emergency stocks at home
Prepare so you can stay and evacuate at home in case of an earthquake or a natural disaster. Stock emergency
supplies of food, water, daily necessities and household medicines for about one week or at least for three days athome. A simple way to create a stockpile is to start “daily stockpiling”, or “rolling stock”, in which you buy a little
more of what you normally use and replace them with what you have consumed.
When you go to an evacuation shelter, you might want to bring face masks, soap, and disinfectants to prevent
infection, a thermometer, slippers, and spare clothes, in addition to drinking water, food and daily necessities since
there may be none or not enough at the shelter.

In the event of an earthquake, stay calm and take steps to protect yourself. If your home is not safe to stay in andmay take time to recover, go to an evacuation shelter opened at elementary and junior high schools.
Cooperation among evacuees (local residents) is vital for smooth operation of these shelters. Check and see how to
set up and operate evacuation shelters. You can see Nisshin City’s manual for setting up and operating a shelter onYouTube.
