Japan is an earthquake-prone country. Earthquakes usually last only for about a few minutes. Staying calm is very important. You also need to be alert for the aftershocks which are likely to occur after a major earthquake.
1. Protect your head with a cushion. Stay under the table to protect yourself from items falling down on you.
2. Once the tremor has died away, turn off the gas and the heater promptly to prevent a fire.
3. Open the doors and windows to secure the exit.
4. All the evacuees will be supplied with food and water at the municipality-designated refuge area free of charge if a big earthquake occurred. You should make sure where your designated area is beforehand.
