When a disaster occurs on the go and have trouble.
Last update date March 1, 2023
When it is difficult to return home from outside
When a major earthquake occurs, do not start moving unnecessarily.
After a disaster occurs, roads and stations may be very crowded, causing injuries and accidents. In addition, road congestion may hinder emergency response activities such as rescue and lifesaving activities, fire fighting activities, and emergency transportation activities.
When a large earthquake occurs, do not start moving unnecessarily, but wait temporarily in a safe place such as a business office, and protect yourself.
Businesses should try to maintain a system for restraint returning home and stock up on food, etc., so that employees and users can stay in the facility.
If it becomes difficult to return home
Be prepared to stay at work so that you don't have to go home. In case you have to return home, prepare home goods (map, food and drinking water, shoes, etc.) in the locker room at your workplace. Also, check the return route and train to walk home. Discuss the means of contact and meeting place with your family.
