Based on the analysis of the situation of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, the voices of staff involved in supporting the affected areas, and citizen questionnaires, we created a new earthquake disaster prevention strategy (draft).

1. We will strengthen our pre-disaster preparedness for citizens and local communities, including support for stockpiling at home, measures against earthquakes and fire, earthquake-resistant housing, and maintenance of disaster-prevention parks.
2. We will improve the environment of evacuation centers and enhance stockpiles so that everyone can live an evacuation life with peace of mind.
3. We support the activities of wide-area support units gathered from all over the country and maintain bases for emergency response activities, such as wide-area disaster prevention bases, to quickly send relief supplies to the city.
4. We will accelerate the earthquake resistance of water and sewage systems and the development of emergency transportation routes for evacuation, rescue, and transportation of goods in the event of a disaster, and promote the development of disaster-resistant towns.
