disaster-prone countries earthquakes too
5
00:00:32,450 --> 00:00:35,210
are surprisingly frequent throughout

00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:37,610

quakes of magnitude seven or greater to
8
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:45,590
ensure people can protect themselves and

plus our theme is earthquake
13
00:00:56,270 --> 00:00:58,610
preparedness we'll look at some of the
14
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:01,100
highly advanced techniques used in Japan
15
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:03,380
to minimize the loss of life and damage
16
00:01:03,380 --> 00:01:06,549

00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:16,960
hello and welcome to Japan ology plus
19
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:19,690
I'm Peter Barca if you live in a country
20
00:01:19,690 --> 00:01:21,670
that doesn't have any earthquakes you
21
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:23,530
may be astounded to know that Japan
22
00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:26,080
experiences over a thousand earthquakes
23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,630
a year and that's not counting the ones
24
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:30,070
that are so small you don't even notice
25
00:01:30,070 --> 00:01:30,700
them
26
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:34,090
Japan sits on top of the so-called Ring
27
00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:36,670
of Fire which is an area of heightened
28
00:01:36,670 --> 00:01:38,890
volcanic activity around the Pacific
29
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:40,960
Ocean and as a result it's one of the
30
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,850
most earthquake-prone countries in the
31
00:01:42,850 --> 00:01:45,820
world because of that it also spends
32
00:01:45,820 --> 00:01:47,979
more time and energy on being prepared
33
00:01:47,979 --> 00:01:49,740
for earthquakes than any other country
34
00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:52,360
there are evacuation drills held
35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,840
regularly by community groups local
36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,350
authorities even private companies we're
37
00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:00,729
going to start off today with a look at
38
00:02:00,729 --> 00:02:03,070
earthquake preparedness in Tokyo's
39
00:02:03,070 --> 00:02:10,000
central business district over here the
40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,790
area of Tokyo centered on automata is a
41
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:14,980
major business district at the hub of
42
00:02:14,980 --> 00:02:18,459
the Japanese economy it is home to the
43
00:02:18,459 --> 00:02:21,280
offices of 4,000 or so leading Japanese
44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,700
companies at about 230,000 workers
45
00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:31,900
how do those who work here keep
46
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:34,310
themselves ready for an earthquake

covers disaster preparedness and risk
50
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:43,960
management for more than 30 years
51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,270
Watanabe has been reporting from the
52
00:02:46,270 --> 00:02:48,910
scenes of disaster in Japan and around

00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:52,270
he also advises national and local
55
00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:56,560
governments on disaster planning we're
56
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,060
going to be talking about earthquake
57
00:02:58,060 --> 00:03:01,720
preparedness what makes this area in
58
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,720
particular a good place to start the
59
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,210
office buildings in this district in
60
00:03:07,210 --> 00:03:11,110
particular set the standard for disaster
61
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:15,220
preparedness preparedness varies by
62
00:03:15,220 --> 00:03:17,920
location different areas of the city
63
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,070
have different approaches to disaster
64
00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:24,880
preparedness this area has an especially
65
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,780
large number of high-rises and hundreds
66
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:32,950
of thousands of people work here if you
67
00:03:32,950 --> 00:03:35,440
get a really big earthquake are they
68
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,170
really going to be safe there is almost
69
00:03:38,170 --> 00:03:40,690
no possibility that any of these
70
00:03:40,690 --> 00:03:43,630
buildings would collapse even in a very
71
00:03:43,630 --> 00:03:47,500
large earthquake considering how massive
72
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:50,500
these buildings are the standards for
73
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:52,660
constructing them are correspondingly
74
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:57,610
rigorous they have to be in fact they
75
00:03:57,610 --> 00:03:59,860
are probably the strictest building
76
00:03:59,860 --> 00:04:03,310
standards in the world such large
77
00:04:03,310 --> 00:04:07,600
buildings are very heavy and in order to
78
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,959
support that weight they have extremely
79
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:14,150
deep foundations
80
00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:16,850
and in the event of an earthquake
81
00:04:16,850 --> 00:04:19,920
advances in technology allow more recent
82
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,680
high-rises to sway with the shaking of
83
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,500
the earthquake rather than try to just
84
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:31,530
resists rigidly by enabling sway and by
85
00:04:31,530 --> 00:04:34,650
dispersing the shock these construction
86
00:04:34,650 --> 00:04:36,840
techniques minimize damage to the

a magnitude 9.0 earthquake the largest
90
00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:50,040
in Japan's recorded history even though
91
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,740
the epicenter was 350 kilometers away
92
00:04:52,740 --> 00:04:55,380
from Tokyo high-rise buildings there
93
00:04:55,380 --> 00:05:01,230
swayed as the ground shook even if a
94
00:05:01,230 --> 00:05:03,990
high-rise building resists collapse they
95
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:07,010
can still be danger to its occupants
96
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:09,990
this property management firm has put in

00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:12,030
place a model program for occupant
98
00:05:12,030 --> 00:05:20,790
safety you see that it's bolted to the
99
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:24,120
wall the furniture is bolted down so it
100
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,140
can't fall over because furniture shifts
101
00:05:28,140 --> 00:05:30,900
in a quake you can imagine what would
102
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,229
happen if this toppled over on someone
103
00:05:33,229 --> 00:05:37,729

show us what you do what you have sure
133
00:07:05,929 --> 00:07:09,959
here's my safety helmet Oh does
134
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:12,419
everybody have one of these yes the

00:07:12,419 --> 00:07:14,279
company distributes helmets fitted with
136
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:17,429
lights to everyone I provided my own
137
00:07:17,429 --> 00:07:19,709
goggles as I thought they'd be useful to
138
00:07:19,709 --> 00:07:21,569
protect my eyes from dust and debris
139
00:07:21,569 --> 00:07:25,589
while evacuating so in the event of an
140
00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:26,039
earthquake
141
00:07:26,039 --> 00:07:30,149
what's your drill what you have to do in
142
00:07:30,149 --> 00:07:32,339
an earthquake the first priority is to
143
00:07:32,339 --> 00:07:35,429
avoid injury getting injured will
144
00:07:35,429 --> 00:07:37,319
prevent you from doing anything else so
145
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:41,639
I'll duck under my desk and put my
146
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:52,319
helmet on to protect my head okay not a
147
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:53,459
lot of space under there
148
00:07:53,459 --> 00:07:56,309
no but if there are any falling objects
149
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:58,819
under the desk is the safest place to be
150
00:07:58,819 --> 00:08:01,050
we've all been taught that since
151
00:08:01,050 --> 00:08:05,819
childhood along with her helmet
152
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:08,039
Morishima has a supply kit that she put
153
00:08:08,039 --> 00:08:11,909
together herself here's my medical kit
154
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:16,169
for emergencies oh there's a whistle to
155
00:08:16,169 --> 00:08:19,949
call for help and a torch well you're
156
00:08:19,949 --> 00:08:23,099
really well-prepared and do you have
157
00:08:23,099 --> 00:08:25,829
this under your desk the whole time yes
158
00:08:25,829 --> 00:08:28,979
after the big 2011 earthquake I became
159
00:08:28,979 --> 00:08:30,809
more conscious that a serious earthquake
160
00:08:30,809 --> 00:08:32,429
could strike at any time
161
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:35,068
so I started keeping these supplies
162
00:08:35,068 --> 00:08:39,029
right under my desk being prepared at
163
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:41,219
all time so that I can act calmly in an
164
00:08:41,219 --> 00:08:43,229
earthquake is important for protecting
165
00:08:43,229 --> 00:08:45,480
my own life
166
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,430
and it's also important for protecting
167
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:52,590
the lives of those around me it's great
168
00:08:52,590 --> 00:08:54,690
that she has disaster supplies at the
169
00:08:54,690 --> 00:08:58,980
ready within easy reach having them off
170
00:08:58,980 --> 00:09:01,680
in a locker somewhere makes no sense you
171
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,380
don't have time to go and fetch them so
172
00:09:04,380 --> 00:09:08,400
you should keep them close by large
173
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,380
buildings like this are made ready for
174
00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:12,870
various people not just those who work
175
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:15,420
there a real estate firm that owns many
176
00:09:15,420 --> 00:09:16,920
office buildings and commercial
177
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,140
facilities in the area showed us their
178
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:23,280
supplies in this storage facility we
179
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,340
keep emergency supplies these supplies
180
00:09:26,340 --> 00:09:28,800
of the distribution to people who might
181
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,020
happen to be shopping here when a big
182
00:09:31,020 --> 00:09:35,820
earthquake strikes the company keeps the
183
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:38,340
supply of food such as nutrition bars
184
00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:41,190
and bottled water for the use of any
185
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:43,320
members of the public stranded in an
186
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:49,350
earthquake in fact when the 2011
187
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:51,390
earthquake struck most of the public
188
00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:53,790
transit in the Tokyo metropolitan area
189
00:09:53,790 --> 00:09:57,630
was shut down that left some people with
190
00:09:57,630 --> 00:09:59,550
no way to get home unless they walked
191
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:02,640
for hours as a result a lot of people
192
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,640
had to stay overnight wherever they were
193
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,910
in total 5.15 million people were
194
00:10:08,910 --> 00:10:10,280
stranded
195
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,930
this company's thorough preparedness
196
00:10:12,930 --> 00:10:14,910
enabled them to shelter many of the
197
00:10:14,910 --> 00:10:16,770
stranded people on the floors of the
198
00:10:16,770 --> 00:10:19,820
buildings they managed
199
00:10:20,890 --> 00:10:24,560
in fact we put this to use in the 2011
200
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,170
earthquake on that occasion we
201
00:10:27,170 --> 00:10:30,080
accommodated about 3,000 stranded people
202
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,839
in the modern Aceh district alone so
203
00:10:32,839 --> 00:10:34,310
you've got provisions here for how many
204
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:37,370
people roughly this storage facility is
205
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:40,060
designed to supply about 1000 people
206
00:10:40,060 --> 00:10:42,740
providing a minimum of 6 meals per
207
00:10:42,740 --> 00:10:46,149
person with a certain margin of surplus
208
00:10:46,149 --> 00:10:48,950
basically enough to support 1,000 people
209
00:10:48,950 --> 00:10:53,510
here for 3 days along with food we set
210
00:10:53,510 --> 00:10:56,029
aside other important supplies for
211
00:10:56,029 --> 00:11:00,350
example these aluminium coated pads the
212
00:11:00,350 --> 00:11:02,240
flaws of commercial buildings are quite
213
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:02,959
cold
214
00:11:02,959 --> 00:11:05,300
so these pads can be laid out on the
215
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:09,950
floor like this and stranded people can
216
00:11:09,950 --> 00:11:12,560
sit or sleep on top of them so that's
217
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:17,360
how it's used on the floor alternatively
218
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,490
it can be wrapped around the shoulders
219
00:11:19,490 --> 00:11:22,640
like a cape to retain body heat this
220
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,310
will keep you warm and keep yourself
221
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:28,060
warm yes that's exactly the point
222
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:31,100
as we construct new buildings
223
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:33,230
we're always increasing the amount of
224
00:11:33,230 --> 00:11:36,220
emergency supplies

disaster-prone countries earthquakes too
229
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:19,060
are surprisingly freon throughout
230
00:12:19,060 --> 00:12:21,430
history Japan has suffered many major
231
00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:26,400
quakes of magnitude 7 or greater to
232
00:12:26,610 --> 00:12:29,410
ensure people can protect themselves and
233
00:12:29,410 --> 00:12:31,900
their communities in earthquakes drills
234
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:33,610
are organized by the government and
235
00:12:33,610 --> 00:12:37,780
private sector this time on Japanese
236
00:12:37,780 --> 00:12:40,090
plus our theme is earthquake
237
00:12:40,090 --> 00:12:42,460
preparedness we'll look at some of the
238
00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:44,950
highly advanced techniques used in Japan
239
00:12:44,950 --> 00:12:47,200
to minimize the loss of life and damage
240

244
00:13:01,970 --> 00:13:04,310
if you live in a country that doesn't
245
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:05,720
have any earthquakes you may be
246
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,300
astounded to know that Japan experiences
247
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:10,850
over a thousand earthquakes a year and
248
00:13:10,850 --> 00:13:12,860
that's not counting the ones that are so
249
00:13:12,860 --> 00:13:14,540
small you don't even notice them
250
00:13:14,540 --> 00:13:17,600
Japan sits on top of the so-called
251
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,970
Ring of Fire which is an area of
252
00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:22,279
heightened volcanic activity around the
253
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:24,620
Pacific Ocean and as a result it's one
254
00:13:24,620 --> 00:13:26,449
of the most earthquake-prone countries
255
00:13:26,449 --> 00:13:28,940
in the world because of that it also
256
00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:31,250
spends more time and energy on being
257
00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:32,990
prepared for earthquakes than any other
258
00:13:32,990 --> 00:13:36,199
country there are evacuation drills held
259
00:13:36,199 --> 00:13:39,829
regularly by community groups local

00:13:53,839 --> 00:13:56,630
area of Tokyo centered on automata is a

00:13:56,630 --> 00:13:58,790
major business district at the hub of

offices of 4,000 or so leading Japanese
268
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,540
companies and about 230,000 workers
269
00:14:12,650 --> 00:14:15,720
how do those who work here keep

junior high schools around Japan in
296
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,400
recent years many schools have worked to
297
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,340
make their drills more realistic at this
298
00:15:47,340 --> 00:15:49,830
primary school children are not told in

300
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:54,660
they hear the warning sounds they must
301

your head takes first priority through

00:16:17,780 --> 00:16:20,420
repeated snap drills children develop an
307

immediate reflex to protect their heads

00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:26,270
when a quake strikes lessons learned
309
00:16:26,270 --> 00:16:28,550
from major earthquakes are being put to
310
00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:31,520
use in drills across Japan to save lives

whenever the next quake strikes I am

00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,360
that off now in Japan earthquake
313
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,980
preparedness isn't just something for
314
00:16:45,980 --> 00:16:48,560
big organizations or neighborhoods it's
315
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,120
something to be done on the personal for
316
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,460
the household level as well to that end
317
00:16:52,460 --> 00:16:54,590
if you go to places like hardware stores
318
00:16:54,590 --> 00:16:56,480
or home centers you can often find a
319
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,430
huge array of products that are designed
320
00:16:58,430 --> 00:17:00,050
to help you make your way through a
321
00:17:00,050 --> 00:17:03,830
disaster situation for example here's
322
00:17:03,830 --> 00:17:05,720
some dry shampoo that you can use if the
323
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,030
water supply has ever turned off doesn't
324
00:17:08,030 --> 00:17:09,410
need water you can just massage it into
325
00:17:09,410 --> 00:17:12,339
your hair there's equipment like this
326
00:17:12,339 --> 00:17:14,990
this is designed to attach the top of
327
00:17:14,990 --> 00:17:17,300
cupboards or bookshelves and prevent
328
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:19,430
them from falling over in case of a big
329
00:17:19,430 --> 00:17:21,740
shake but one of the key things to
330
00:17:21,740 --> 00:17:23,359
making your way through a disaster is
331
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,079
what's known as an emergency bag these
332
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:29,060
bags are designed to hold all sorts of
333
00:17:29,060 --> 00:17:31,640
gear equipment and items to help you
334
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,770
when you need to leave your house for
335
00:17:33,770 --> 00:17:35,090
whatever reason in the course of a
336
00:17:35,090 --> 00:17:35,900
disaster
337
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:37,820
but there's so much stuff out there what
338
00:17:37,820 --> 00:17:39,170
exactly should you put into your
339
00:17:39,170 --> 00:17:41,090
emergency bag that's what we have come
340
00:17:41,090 --> 00:17:42,740
here to find out today from an advisor
341
00:17:42,740 --> 00:17:46,420
who is an expert on that very topic
342
00:17:46,420 --> 00:17:48,920
today I'm here with mr. Tom Illya
343
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,440
Haqqani who is a disaster management
344
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,450
advisor well this certainly looks like a
345
00:17:53,450 --> 00:17:55,580
lot of useful stuff but what what are
346
00:17:55,580 --> 00:17:57,700
the rules for packing a bag like this
347
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:01,280
this is an emergency bag so you need to
348
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,190
be able to run while carrying it it's
349
00:18:04,190 --> 00:18:05,720
important that it does not feel like
350
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,850
it's weighing you down when you carry it
351
00:18:07,850 --> 00:18:10,670
there are four essentials the bag needs
352
00:18:10,670 --> 00:18:13,070
to be packed with the first thing is
353
00:18:13,070 --> 00:18:15,290
gear to protect yourself from physical
354
00:18:15,290 --> 00:18:17,610
harm like a torch and glove
355
00:18:17,610 --> 00:18:20,680
and a waterproof top in case you
356
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,660
evacuate in the rain yes this is a
357
00:18:22,660 --> 00:18:25,390
really good idea how about these masks
358
00:18:25,390 --> 00:18:28,870
yes they're good to have the trouble
359
00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:30,910
with a torch like this is that it takes
360
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:33,580
up one of your hands so a light that you
361
00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:36,190
wear on your head is even better right I
362
00:18:36,190 --> 00:18:37,840
see these in camping stores and things
363
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:38,580
like that away
364
00:18:38,580 --> 00:18:41,440
these items should be placed in an outer
365
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,240
pocket where you can access them
366
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,310
immediately when you have to get away in
367
00:18:45,310 --> 00:18:48,880
a hurry the second essential is a day
368
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,080
supply of food and water if you put all
369
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,320
this in the bag we'll get too heavy so
370
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,570
just one day's worth is plenty okay so
371
00:18:58,570 --> 00:19:01,690
what is one day's worth of liquid for
372
00:19:01,690 --> 00:19:04,630
example the benchmark is three liters
373
00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:07,450
per person per day but for an emergency
374
00:19:07,450 --> 00:19:10,060
bag one and a half to two liters should
375
00:19:10,060 --> 00:19:13,660
suffice well this looks like a 1.5 liter
376
00:19:13,660 --> 00:19:15,580
bottle how about this for ease of
377
00:19:15,580 --> 00:19:17,440
drinking straight from the bottles
378
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,810
I recommend smaller ones good point okay
379
00:19:21,810 --> 00:19:27,640
that's one liters worth and one more as
380
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,520
for that it's quite convenient to have
381
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,000
your water and nutrition all in one so
382
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,800
for the last portion of water I
383
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,900
recommend choosing nutritional gels
384
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:40,480
instead interesting so this is kind of
385
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,450
like a sports beverage I guess well
386
00:19:43,450 --> 00:19:45,670
let's put in three of those gel packs
387
00:19:45,670 --> 00:19:52,480
yes two three okay next the food when
388
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,300
you're tired your body needs energy so
389
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:57,130
you shouldn't be trying for low calorie
390
00:19:57,130 --> 00:19:59,320
foods or anything you need something
391
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,180
that can be eaten with no cooking or
392
00:20:01,180 --> 00:20:03,190
prep required so this is no time for a
393
00:20:03,190 --> 00:20:06,310
diet that's what you're saying biscuits
394
00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:08,560
and chocolate and other foods you can
395
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,110
eat directly with no implements needed
396
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:13,610
our best
397
00:20:13,610 --> 00:20:16,670
the third essential is first aid
398
00:20:16,670 --> 00:20:19,890
sanitation and hygiene supplies that
399
00:20:19,890 --> 00:20:21,750
would include wound care treatments and
400
00:20:21,750 --> 00:20:24,090
bandages a change of underwear and a
401
00:20:24,090 --> 00:20:29,300
town another hygiene issue is the toilet
402
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:33,660
for that there are bags like this it
403
00:20:33,660 --> 00:20:36,120
contains a powder that will solidify
404
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:39,930
feces or urine having one or two of
405
00:20:39,930 --> 00:20:42,900
these in your pack is advisable the last
406
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,570
essential is information on where to go
407
00:20:45,570 --> 00:20:47,310
a radio and map
408
00:20:47,310 --> 00:20:50,340
what is this map this shows what areas
409
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:52,200
in your neighborhood could be dangerous
410
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,500
and also evacuation spots we call it a
411
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:58,290
hazard map this is really useful and
412
00:20:58,290 --> 00:21:01,320
definitely the if you haven't radio I'm
413
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,670
assuming you're going to need batteries
414
00:21:02,670 --> 00:21:05,090
as well absolutely
415
00:21:05,090 --> 00:21:10,490
that completes the four essentials and
416
00:21:10,490 --> 00:21:13,770
pagani also carries photographs of his
417
00:21:13,770 --> 00:21:17,610
family you could become separated from
418
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:20,420
family members in evacuation centers
419
00:21:20,420 --> 00:21:23,190
photos are handy to have when looking
420
00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:26,250
for them include a photo of yourself
421
00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:29,010
with your contact information that helps
422
00:21:29,010 --> 00:21:31,650
others identify you if you are injured
423
00:21:31,650 --> 00:21:34,350
and unconscious other important
424
00:21:34,350 --> 00:21:36,660
information includes your blood type in
425
00:21:36,660 --> 00:21:39,270
case you need a transfusion that's the
426
00:21:39,270 --> 00:21:41,520
final essential for a proper emergency
427
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,830
bag try slinging it on your shoulder mat
428
00:21:43,830 --> 00:21:47,520
okay time to gear up here Oh oh this
429
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,960
feels good this feels of a good weight
430
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,710
[Music]
431
00:21:51,710 --> 00:21:53,510
do you think you could run with that on
432
00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:55,700
Oh indefinitely this is I could easily
433
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:58,570
run with this when they not go - waiver
434
00:21:58,570 --> 00:22:01,220
the total weight of the supplies in the
435
00:22:01,220 --> 00:22:04,130
bag is about four kilograms under five
436
00:22:04,130 --> 00:22:08,600
is the target for adults you know I had
437
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,400
known the kind of big picture of needing
438
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,170
to be prepared but seeing all the little
439
00:22:12,170 --> 00:22:14,120
details really helps me build up picture
440
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:16,130
in my head of what to do well there you
441
00:22:16,130 --> 00:22:18,080
have it I hope you never have to use the
442
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,460
tips and techniques that we learned here
443
00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:21,740
today but just in case it helps to be
444
00:22:21,740 --> 00:22:24,140
prepared see you next time
445
00:22:24,140 --> 00:22:27,189
[Music]
446
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,800
now for a visit to a municipal run
447
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,200
disaster preparedness education center
448
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,030
the center has facilities that allow
449
00:22:39,030 --> 00:22:41,250
visitors to experience simulated
450
00:22:41,250 --> 00:22:43,890
earthquakes they can practice using fire
451
00:22:43,890 --> 00:22:47,400
extinguishers and experience simulated
452
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,160
rainstorms there are more than 70 such
453
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,050
facilities around Japan offering
454
00:22:52,050 --> 00:22:54,420
immersive experiences to heighten
455
00:22:54,420 --> 00:23:00,210
disaster awareness my impression is that
456
00:23:00,210 --> 00:23:02,190
Japanese people have a relatively high
457
00:23:02,190 --> 00:23:05,010
level of awareness but the need to be
458
00:23:05,010 --> 00:23:06,720
prepared for earthquakes and other
459
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,910
disasters but from talking to you today
460
00:23:08,910 --> 00:23:11,070
I get the impression that you think that
461
00:23:11,070 --> 00:23:13,800
there's still room for improvement after
462
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,880
the earthquake on March the 11th 2011
463
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,580
there was a sudden surge in disaster
464
00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:23,010
preparedness awareness among people in
465
00:23:23,010 --> 00:23:26,910
Japan but the survey showed that just
466
00:23:26,910 --> 00:23:29,280
two years later the situation had
467
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,790
changed 70 percent of people had become
468
00:23:32,790 --> 00:23:36,230
less conscious of disaster preparedness
469
00:23:36,230 --> 00:23:39,240
having people actually experience the
470
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,160
effects of an earthquake in a facility
471
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,650
like this is the most effective way to
472
00:23:43,650 --> 00:23:46,470
heighten public awareness and then to
473
00:23:46,470 --> 00:23:48,780
sustain that awareness and that's why
474
00:23:48,780 --> 00:23:53,100
such facilities are built this simulator
475
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:55,950
can recreate massive quakes Japan has
476
00:23:55,950 --> 00:23:58,590
experienced in the past
477
00:23:58,590 --> 00:24:01,139
Peter will be experiencing a magnitude
478
00:24:01,139 --> 00:24:04,799
7.3 quake one with intense vertical
479
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:06,629
shaking due to the epicenter being
480
00:24:06,629 --> 00:24:11,490
directly below now you'll be trying out
481
00:24:11,490 --> 00:24:14,399
this earthquake simulator I'm not going
482
00:24:14,399 --> 00:24:16,919
to give you any advance warnings I just
483
00:24:16,919 --> 00:24:18,690
want you to experience it and think of
484
00:24:18,690 --> 00:24:21,889
ways to protect yourself
485
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:30,700
[Music]
486
00:24:47,180 --> 00:24:50,459
[Music]
487
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,670
okay
488
00:25:03,150 --> 00:25:08,040
okay it's actually it wasn't as bad as I
489
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,610
thought it was going to be yes it still
490
00:25:11,610 --> 00:25:13,470
it's scary you don't know what's gonna
491
00:25:13,470 --> 00:25:18,540
happen so you kind of stiffen up I don't
492
00:25:18,540 --> 00:25:19,950
know if I should have been underneath
493
00:25:19,950 --> 00:25:21,390
the table perhaps that would have been
494
00:25:21,390 --> 00:25:25,080
better but I don't think I really had
495
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,870
enough presence of mind to really think
496
00:25:27,870 --> 00:25:29,850
about that I just grabbed on to
497
00:25:29,850 --> 00:25:33,420
something so that you know so as you say
498
00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:36,360
you didn't manage to get under the table
499
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:40,500
and that is the most important thing you
500
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:43,620
should have done you've got to protect
501
00:25:43,620 --> 00:25:47,970
your head ah that's essential you need
502
00:25:47,970 --> 00:25:49,830
to get in the habit of ducking under a
503
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:52,260
table even when you feel slight shaking
504
00:25:52,260 --> 00:25:55,650
when a big quake hits directly below you
505
00:25:55,650 --> 00:25:58,020
can lose your composure and that's what
506
00:25:58,020 --> 00:26:02,309
just happened to you I think for people
507
00:26:02,309 --> 00:26:05,550
watching this program from outside Japan
508
00:26:05,550 --> 00:26:08,340
I think if it's that dangerous why would
509
00:26:08,340 --> 00:26:10,370
you want to live in this country and
510
00:26:10,370 --> 00:26:12,809
sometimes I thought that myself but you
511
00:26:12,809 --> 00:26:14,010
know you've made your choice you're
512
00:26:14,010 --> 00:26:15,240
going to live in a country and you that
513
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,370
you then have to do whatever it takes
514
00:26:17,370 --> 00:26:19,620
and as you've said there's absolutely no
515
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:22,020
room for complacency on the other hand I
516
00:26:22,020 --> 00:26:24,090
suppose you have to go on living your
517
00:26:24,090 --> 00:26:25,820
life and enjoying your life you can't be
518
00:26:25,820 --> 00:26:28,140
you know wandering around thinking
519
00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:29,280
when's the next earthquake gonna happen
520
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,559
every day you know every waking minute
521
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:34,020
of your day but on the other hand I
522
00:26:34,020 --> 00:26:35,490
suppose the idea has to be there
523
00:26:35,490 --> 00:26:37,170
somewhere so when you get on the train
524
00:26:37,170 --> 00:26:39,690
or when you're driving your car always
525
00:26:39,690 --> 00:26:42,290
this has to be just a little bit of
526
00:26:42,290 --> 00:26:46,980
awareness of it could happen today with
527
00:26:46,980 --> 00:26:49,350
earthquake preparedness it's not enough
528
00:26:49,350 --> 00:26:52,320
to be sort of prepared you need to know
529
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,780
exactly what to do to protect yourself
530
00:26:54,780 --> 00:26:58,530
in each situation and it shouldn't be
531
00:26:58,530 --> 00:27:00,540
just disaster experts like myself
532
00:27:00,540 --> 00:27:04,080
teaching everyone should give real
533
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,750
thought to what is needed in order to be
534
00:27:06,750 --> 00:27:08,490
ready to get through an actual
535
00:27:08,490 --> 00:27:09,750
earthquake
536
00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:13,920
that really helps them to be prepared
537
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,720
you don't have to carry a three-day
538
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,930
supply of food with you wherever you go
539
00:27:18,930 --> 00:27:22,330
but if a quake does strike while you are
540
00:27:22,330 --> 00:27:24,700
on your commute what is the absolute
541
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:27,880
minimum of things you should have on
542
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,960
your person at all times everyone should
543
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,060
come up with their own answer and try it
544
00:27:34,060 --> 00:27:47,170
out very much next time on Jaffa Knology
545
00:27:47,170 --> 00:27:49,990
plus wrapping and packaging from rice
546
00:27:49,990 --> 00:27:52,690
balls to wine bottles Japanese products
547
00:27:52,690 --> 00:27:54,640
showcase the ultimate in aesthetic
548
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,500
appeal and ingenious skills
