Many people have been killed by falling indoor furniture.
In the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, there have been a survey report that about 90% of those who died were crushed due to collapsed houses or fallen furniture.
In addition, there are survey reports that estimate that about 10% of those who died were due to the prevention of furniture falling.

Preparing in advance is essential so that you can save your life whenever an earthquake occurs.
L-shaped metal fittings (intensity is required on the wall)
Sticks (strength is required on the ceiling)
Adhesive mat (Beware of expiration date)
There are many other measures.
Furniture should be placed in a place that does not hit the sleeping person directly, even if it falls down.
Attach a shatterproof film to the glass door and attach a fastener to the door.
Evacuation routes are in front of doors and corridors, so do not place anything that falls.
