Tsunami evacuation drill, starting at 10.
From 10 a.m. today, the Hyogo Prefecture Tsunami Evacuation Drill begins in 15 cities and 3 towns across the prefecture, including Kobe and Akashi.
In the areas covered, a drill emergency alert email will be sent, and mobile phones may ring even in silent mode. A chance to check where you would evacuate to and the way there.
The disaster information terminal has been updated.
"BOUSAI INDEX," which I develop on my own, has been updated. It is now easier to read on smartphones and laid out so you can reach the information you need more easily. It also gathers gear and apps useful for water supply, medical care and disaster preparedness.

A clear way in, for when it matters.
Running a guesthouse by the sea, I feel there should be a way in to the disaster information people need, both for those who live here and for those visiting on a trip. "BOUSAI INDEX," which I introduced before, is something I developed on my own with that in mind.
This time I reviewed how easy it is to read on a smartphone and how easy it is to find information. Besides alerts and evacuation sites, it now organizes water supply and medical information, gear and apps for preparedness, and other resources useful in a disaster and for everyday preparation.
Even if the information exists, it is a waste if you cannot find it when you need it. Just like caring for the guesthouse, I want to keep making it a little easier to use, bit by bit.
Where you live or where you travel. If you like, take the drill as a chance to have a look.
