Japan has frequent earthquakes. Disasters may cause logistics disruptions and shortages of goods, so it also pays more attention to disaster prevention preparations, from food and water to mobile shelter kits, and even promotes the “circular reserve method”. The government also recommends preparing at least 3 days of supplies to be fully prepared.
Volcanic eruptions and frequent earthquakes. Japan is located at the junction of crustal plates, and large-scale natural disasters have almost become a daily occurrence. There are many disaster predictions circulating on the Internet, and various places are paying more and more attention to the preparation of “emergency shelter kits”. Japanese reporter: “At least 3 days of supply, if possible, reserve a week’s supply.”
According to the Japanese government’s advice, people should prepare at least 3 days to a week’s supply of shelter food as basic disaster prevention preparations. For a small family, for example, it is recommended to choose long-term storage and nutritious options such as steamed foods, canned meats, and instant curry packs; for drinking water, it is recommended that adults consume about 3 liters per day. In addition, heating equipment such as gas stoves are also indispensable. If you can cook hot food when there is a water and power outage, it will help stabilize your mood and maintain good physical condition.
Japanese reporter: “What is the circular reserve method? It means buying more of the food you normally eat, and then storing the leftovers to ensure that the food inventory is sufficient.”
The Japanese government also encourages the public to start with the “circular reserve method”, which is to focus on the food you eat daily, eat the old food first according to the shelf life, and then replenish the new food, while reducing the pressure of stockpiling and not worrying about waste.
Now many stores in Japan often sell various disaster prevention supplies, such as lightweight equipment for mountaineering, which is small in size and powerful in function, and can maximize its benefits at critical moments. In addition, some disaster prevention specialists will also prepare complete disaster prevention supplies in the car, and regard the car as a temporary shelter, showing a high degree of alertness to disaster response.
