Check Multilingual apps or Information websites in advance.
In May, earthquakes of intensity 4 or higher have occurred in various parts of Japan. Some of you may have just arrived in Japan and may have been surprised by the tremors.
When a major earthquake occurs, a lot of earthquake information is immediately sent out, but most of it is in Japanese. Therefore, we recommend that you bookmark websites that provide disaster information in multiple languages in advance .
Also, if you have installed a disaster prevention application that is available in multiple languages or in English, you can receive real-time information on earthquakes, torrential rains, and other disasters.
Be prepared for emergencies now.
