Personal Safety

Many small earthquakes occur on a regular basis in Japan. While most do not pose problems from time to time you may feel the effects. Most Japanese have come to live with these occurrences and you may want to familiarize yourself with emergency procedures should a major earthquake strike. Everyone prepares for such occurrences in Japan and preparatory information can be obtained from the municipal office.
