Earthquake preparedness at home

Overview

Guidance on preparing for earthquakes at home. The ward recommends staying at home when it is safe, since about 80 percent of the people killed in the 1995 Kobe earthquake died from collapsing buildings or falling furniture. The page covers strengthening older houses, fixing furniture, packing an emergency bag and knowing which shelter to go to. It links the Stay-at-Home Guide in Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Tagalog, Vietnamese and Nepali, and the Tokyo disaster-prevention app.
