Toilet measures in the event of a disaster
When a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake occurs, plumbing in water and sewage and buildings may be damaged. If the piping is damaged, the water supply will not be usable and the toilet will not be available. Toilet measures are as important as well as stockpiling for eating and drinking, so let's proceed with measures such as stockpiling toilet packs.
