In Japan, a big earthquake attacked Kobe city of Kansai district(the Great Hanshin Earthquake) on January 17, 1995. Time more than 5 years goes by from that big earthquake, a lot of people has faded a sense of impending crisis to natural disaster. It is necessary at the earliest for two or three days so that water service or electricity restore when I look back on the various kinds of disasters that happened till now. Tendo city office presents a bag of protection against disasters to the people who moved into. Would you check a bag once again and try to prepare water or food?
