In the past major earthquakes, water outages occurred, and many people were in trouble with domestic water (washing, bathing, washbasin), toilets, and water for eating and drinking. Therefore, it is said that not only water storage, but also plastic tanks, trolleys that carry water, and wet tissues that lift the body were particularly useful.
In addition, many people were having trouble eating and contacting families due to power outages and gas interruptions, and flashlights, portable radios, mobile phone chargers, 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 make the necessary stockpiling.
