In the past major earthquakes, water outages occurred, so many people were having trouble with domestic water (washing, bathing, washbasin), toilets, and eating and drinking water. Therefore, it is said that not only the stockpiling of water, but also plastic tanks and trolleys that carry water, and wet tissues that contain the body were especially useful.
In addition, due to power outages and gas interruptions, many people were having trouble with meals and family contact, and flashlights, portable radios, chargers for mobile phones, dry batteries, and tabletop stoves were also useful.
In addition, for women, it is said that stockpiling sanitary products was also useful.
Consider the gender and age of yourself and your family, and stock the necessary stockpiling.
