Secure your safety.
In Japan, people are taught how to respond to earthquakes as part of their education.
To ensure safety, if you’re indoors, you should take cover under a sturdy table and protect your head.
If you’re outdoors, you should move to an open area like a park or schoolyard, away from any obstacles.
And if you are inside, you had better secure an Exit.
During the shaking, doors and windows can become warped and may not open.
It’s important to open the door and secure an exit as soon as the shaking stops.
Avoid Coastal area
In Japan, earthquakes can cause significant damage, but the tsunami that follows can cause even greater devastation.
Therefore, if you are near the coast, evacuate immediately.
Check the evacuation shelter.
In Japan, when an earthquake occurs, evacuation instructions are issued to designated schools, parks, and commercial facilities.
Therefore, if you are staying at a hotel, please ask the hotel staff for guidance.
If that is difficult, please refer to the local disaster prevention map for your area.
