Given that large earthquakes happen so infrequently in Kyushu, it's hardly surprising that many people were unprepared when the Kumamoto Earthquake struck. Living in a country like Japan where natural disasters are common, it's a good idea to be prepared even if you live somewhere that isn't usually affected. These things are often hard to predict and, like those of us affected by the Kumamoto Earthquake, you won't have time to prepare when disaster strikes.
Here is a quick list of some things you might want to consider packing in an emergency 'grab bag' that you can leave near the door of your house, ready to pick up if you need to leave quickly during a disaster.
- Water
- Non-perishable food
- Warming clothing / rain clothing
- Torch and spare batteries
- Medicine / First Aid supplies
- Money / I.D
