The "Tokai Earthquake" is a large scale earthquake predicted to hit a large

swathe of land, including Gifu prefecture, in the near future. In the past, every

100 to 150 years, a highly destructive earthquake has occurred in the Tokai area,

covering areas such as Aichi, Shizuoka and Gifu prefectures. The Tokai earthquake

could come at any time.

An emergency earthquake alert is an alert which notifies strong shocks from an

earthquake are coming. An announcement from the Meteorological Agency will be put

out in the areas expected to be struck by large shocks.

The time between the announcement, that a strong earthquake has been detected

in the area and the start of the earthquake is only a few to tens of seconds.

During this time it is necessary to take action in order to protect yourself.

Emergency earthquake information is broadcast on television and radio, and

can be received on mobile phones, which receive emergency earthquake information

automatically.

The warning will be made through TV, radio, the internet, local

outdoor speaker systems and others.

◇Bus and train services, along with car traffic will be partly

restricted.

◇As schools will be dismissed, pick up your children.

◇Telephones are usuable, but usage restrictions may be in place.

When you think you feel an earthquake coming, first

make sure to protect your body. If furniture slides or

topples due to the earthquake shocks, there is a danger

you will be pinned down or stuck.

When there is heavy shaking, shelter under a strong

table. In such an instance, even if furniture topples,

your body will be protected by the table.

②②②②Extinguishing Flames Extinguishing Flames Extinguishing Flames Extinguishing Flames

After the earthquake, the next worry is fire. In previous

earthquakes, many lives have been lost in the fires which

followed. To prevent against fires, when shaking has

settled down, turn flames from cooking stoves or other

such appliances off.

In some cases, buildings are warped by earthquakes and

the start of an earthquake, always remember to secure an

near regular use windows and doors.

When an earthquake hits, you think it’s dangerous

to be in a building but on the contrary it is dangerous

to rush outside. There are times when roof tiles,

windowpanes, signboards, brick walls or other items

fall or collapse. Injuries from falling objects are

surprisingly high. It is essential to act calmly.

⑤⑤⑤⑤Help each otherHelp each otherHelp each otherHelp each other

In a big earthquake, buildings collapse

trapping people inside. Helping people trapped in

buildings is not limited to the fire brigade and

police. There are times when roads are blocked,

making it impossible for ambulances to get through.

In such a time, join with your neighbors and help.

Such cooperation is of a great help.

In times of disaster, being on one's own can be a helpless situation. In such

times it is important for neighbors to help each other. Do people live around you?

Do these people know you? If they do not, then they will not be able help you should

something happen. From now on be prepared, communicate with your neighbors and
