In preparation for the occurrence of a disaster, Water Works Bureau regularly asks homes and businesses to store and store 9 liters of drinking water for 3 days and 3 days per person.
※In high-rise houses that are pressurized with a water supply pump or through a water receiving tank, water may not come out if the building has a power outage.

The rolling stock method is a method of keeping a certain amount by buying a little more drinking water on a regular basis and buying a new one as much as you use.
