“Disaster Preparedness Tokyo” is tailored to the various local features of Tokyo, such as its urban structure and the lifestyles of its residents. It contains easy-to-understand information on how to prepare for and respond to a disaster. This information is useful both in the event of an emergency and to help you prepare proactively now.
