In the Tokyo metropolitan area earthquakes occur frequently and global warming can cause rainstorms and floods. It is necessary for residents in Japan to participate in disaster drills against such events.

This disaster drill will be fun and interesting. Although instructions are provided in Japanese during the drill, LVC members will interpret for you. The event is free of charge.

In an emergency you’ll be able to act properly and lead your family and others around you to a safe place based on knowledge learned through the drill.
