Disaster prevention thinking from the outdoor disaster prevention program

What happens to our lives in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake?

In past disasters, the supply of electricity, water and gas to households was stopped due to damage to water pipes, gas pipelines, and electrical equipment due to large shaking.
Since it is not possible to predict when these supplies will resume in advance before a disaster occurs, it is important to consider in advance how to deal with when electricity, gas, and water cannot be used.

When the electricity is turned off

If a power outage occurs, the following effects can be considered.

Impact of power failure
ImpactMeasures
The light doesn't turn on

Prepare battery-powered and battery-type lights such as LED lanterns in advance. It is safe to have three rooms, living room, toilet, and kitchen.
If not enough, refer to the program of "Lantern Making (PDF: 529KB)" program.

I can't collect information from TV

Let's use radios, smartphones, etc. It is safe to have spare batteries and chargers in case of battery runs out.
evacuation shelter can also gather the necessary information.

Air-conditioning equipment is not available

When electricity stops, it becomes difficult to take measures against heat. Especially in the summer, it is necessary to stock a lot of drinking water to prevent dehydration.
In addition, we may be able to cope by creating shade even a little and alleviating the heat, so you can also use "Blue Sheet Turp" (PDF: 629KB).
As a countermeasure against the cold, keep a portable gas stove at home so that you can cook hot meals and drinks.

I can't cook

Meals are an important factor in maintaining health in the event of a disaster. Stock up on food that can be stored at room temperature so that you can eat as usual, and prepare portable gas stove etc. so that you can cook. It is also important to secure a certain amount of food that can be eaten as it is at room temperature.

Water does not come out of the faucet
※In the case of apartment (depending on structure)

When tap water is supplied to the building using electricity, tap water may not be pumped up due to a power outage, and water may not come out of the faucet.
In the event of a power outage in apartment, elevators and other facilities will be shut down, making it difficult to transport water.

※In addition, let's think about what kind of impact it will have.

When the water supply is stopped

When the water supply is stopped, the following effects can be considered.

Impact of water cutoff
ImpactMeasures
There is no drinking water

Drinking water can be secured at water stations in the event of a disaster. However, in the past disasters, long lines have occurred by residents seeking water supply, and the amount of water that can be carried, so the amount of water that can be carried is limited, so the necessary amount of water, such as having to line up at a water station many times a day. It sometimes took a lot of effort to secure water.
Since securing drinking water is directly linked to life, stock up at least 9 liters per person (3 liters per person x 3 days) on a daily basis.

The toilet can't flush

If the water is cut off, there will be no water flowing through the toilet. Prepare a toilet pack so that you can add it at home even if the water is cut off.
Stock up toilet packs at least 15 times (for 3 days) per person.

I can't wash my clothes

If you can't use water, you will not be able to wash dishes and other dishes. If tableware can be used, cover it with a wrap or plastic bag, remove it after eating and dispose of it as burning garbage, so that you can use it without soiling the container.
Tableware may be broken due to shaking, so please refer to the program of "Paper Tableware Making (PDF: 2,109KB)".

Don't take a bathIf you are not able to take a bath, it will be difficult to keep your body clean. Unsanitary conditions can be stressed both physically and mentally, so be sure to have a wet sheet for wiping your body.

※In addition, let's think about what kind of impact it will have.

Stock up on food that can be stored at room temperature so that you can eat as usual, and prepare portable gas stove etc. so that you can cook. It is also important to secure a certain amount of food that can be eaten as it is at room temperature.
※When performing in a place where the risk of fire is low, such as camping or barbecue, you can use it for outdoor activities by referring to the program of "Fire Raising Experience (PDF: 578KB)".

Heating equipment is not available

As a countermeasure against the cold, prepare a portable gas stove so that you can have hot meals and drinks.
If electricity can be used, switch the use of an air conditioner.

Don't take a bathIf gas cannot be used, you will not be able to boil water and take a bath. In winter, bathing becomes difficult unless hot water comes out, so be sure to have a wet sheet for wiping your body so that your body is clean.

※In addition, let's think about what kind of impact it will have.
