The disaster prevention class was held by the Tochigi International Exchange Association at the Citizens Exchange Center in Oyama City, and about 30 people including foreigners living in the city participated.
In the classroom, the association staff explained the meaning of the evacuation information in easy Japanese, such as “Please Escape” for “Evacuation Advisory” and “Escape immediately” for “Evacuation Instruction”.
Explain that the evacuation shelter is free for anyone to visit, and participants can check the shelter near the home while looking at the disaster prevention map, and write on the prints considering what to take when evacuating. It was.
Finally, in preparation for an evacuation life, we had a sample of an emergency meal where rice could be eaten just by putting in hot water, and folded newspapers to make slippers.
A Vietnamese 23-year-old man who participated said, “I knew where the shelter was. I thought the disaster prevention goods I made were useful.” A Filipino 60-year-old woman said, “I am grateful for studying a lot. If anything happens, I will run away to the shelter with my prepared bag immediately.”
