Shinjuku Disaster Prevention Festa 2018
A fun and hands-on event about Disaster Prevention for everyone, including adults, children, youth, non-Japanese nationals, and people with disabilities.
The next major disaster that strike Japan could be a large-scale earthquake right under Tokyo.
Based on this information, some might feel anxious:
“What do I do to protect myself from an earthquake or fire?”
“Do evacuation centers accept and provide appropriate services for people with disabilities?”
“I wish there were more disaster drills for non-Japanese residents.”
“I would like to help as a volunteer after a disaster occurs.”
You may think about these issues from time to time, but how many people actually make it a priority in their daily lives?
It is normal if you have not taken any actions related to disaster prevention, as it is extremely difficult to imagine these scenarios without some help.
Therefore, we organize annual events, where community members can learn about disaster prevention in a fun and interactive way.
This will be the 3rd time that the Shinjuku Disaster Prevention Festa takes place. Last year, about 3,200 people participated.
Come and join us with your family and friends!
