〇Point 3

Are you fully prepared with disaster prevention goods?

It is important to keep it in a place that is easily accessible in the event of an evacuation.

What should I prepare?

Wear cool clothes.

Physical fitness and physical condition

From the beginning of the hot season, build up your physical fitness to the extent that you can handle.

Drink water frequently.
