Disaster Preparedness
In order to prevent natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods and minimize damage as much as possible, close to “zero”, you have to be well aware of, and prepared for, disasters. The TFD offers a variety of safety steps with fire drills for the greater safety of the “new days.”
Home Fire Alarm
Home fire alarms need to be checked regularly (by pressing the button or pulling the string). The alarm beeps if it has no problem. As a guide, ten-year-old alarms need to be replaced.
Home Fire and Life Safety Advice Visit
Fire station members visit houses of people requiring support in emergencies (e.g., seniors, the disabled). They give advice on fire and earthquake safety and accident precautions.
Keep Furniture from Falling and Moving
Earthquakes may topple or move furniture, causing injury, fire or difficult evacuation. Be prepared for a quake with furniture safety steps.
In the event of large-scale disasters, local community people need to “protect their community by themselves.” Let’s learn about fire and emergency drills from portal sites on the TFD website and repeat the drills. Let’s acquire life safety action.
