Last Updated March 1, 2023
When it is difficult to return home from outside
When a large earthquake occurs, do not start moving unnecessarily
After a disaster, roads and areas around stations may be very crowded and injuries and accidents may occur. In addition, congestion of roads may hinder emergency measures such as rescue and lifesaving activities, fire fighting activities, and emergency transportation activities.
When a large earthquake occurs, do not start moving unnecessarily, but temporarily wait in a safe place such as a business office to protect yourself. .
Businesses should try to maintain a system to control simultaneous return and stock up on food 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 forcibly return home. Prepare homecoming goods (maps, food, drinking water, shoes, etc.) in the locker room at work in case you have to return home. Also, check the return route and train to walk home. Let's discuss communication methods and meeting places with family members.
