Have you ever wondered if disaster strikes suddenly, you and those around you will be able to cope with it?
Japan, a country prone to natural disasters, holds a disaster prevention day every year to prepare for natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis that may occur in the future.
Starting at 10 a.m. local time today, a large-scale disaster prevention drill was held at a park in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, which is close to Tokyo. The drill covered search and rescue, fire fighting, traffic control, and helicopter transportation of the wounded and disaster relief materials.
Although the Japanese government predicts that there is a 70% chance of a magnitude 7 earthquake in the Tokyo metropolitan area within the next 30 years, the eruption of Mt. Fuji will affect the lives of about 800,000 people in the surrounding area. However, there are also those who believe that these predictions may be measures taken by Japan in response to a possible disaster.
In response to these predictions, the Japanese government has taken a series of measures, such as establishing an emergency response mechanism, strengthening the early warning system, and disaster drills.
Although the Japanese government has made sufficient preparations for the earthquake, some people still question whether the government's measures to deal with the earthquake can really save Japan from disaster.
