It is a place where you can sleep, receive food, medical care and information. It is a safe place for all people (Japanese and foreigners), even for foreigners who do not have a visa.
In many cities many elementary and junior high schools function as shelter, there are several places to shelter before a disaster, it would be good to arrange in advance with family or even friends, a place of refuge to gather in case of an earthquake. Not to be worried.

Reserve drinking water for 3 days, 3 liters per day for each person. Drinking water bottles are sold at the Home Center, which can be stored for 5 years, called HIJOYOINRYOSUI.
Reserve food, instant food, canned food and more, for a minimum of 3 days.
Also book some medications.
And in case of an EARTHQUAKE ALERT NOTICE, it is possible to use tap water for a brief moment, so we advise you to fill the borehole, washing machine and buckets, as this water can be useful for daily use.

171 is the telephone service number to record message exchange in case of disaster.

To record message: 171+1+ xxx.xxxx.xxxx (your home phone number – home phone only).
