Disaster preparations/emergency evacuation items

In the event of an emergency, you may need to evacuate immediately. In such situations, it is important that you have some emergency items ready in a bag that you can carry on your back (e.g. a small backpack). Emergency bags should weigh around 15kg for men and 10kg or less for women.

Portable radio (with spare batteries): Access to accurate information is vital during a disaster.
Flashlight (with spare batteries), candles: Required in case of power outages or if you need to do anything in the dark.
Helmet (protective hood): This may be more difficult to have ready, but it is advisable for you and your family to have these. A helmet will protect your head from falling objects when evacuating.
Emergency food supply (for 3 days): Preferably, food that does not need to be heated up (e.g. dry bread, crackers).
Drinking water (for 3 days): Ideally, 3L per person per day (9L for 3 days).
Clothing (underwear, outer garments, socks, handkerchiefs, towels, etc.): Portable clothing sets are useful in this situation.
Household goods (lighters, matches, work gloves, paper plates, paper cups, knife, can opener, bottle opener, tissues, wet wipes, plastic sheet, etc.)
First aid kit (Plasters, gauze, bandages, disinfectant, antipyretics, stomach medicine, cold medicine, masks, eye drops, etc.): People with a medical condition should have a supply of their own medicine.
Passbook, bank certificates, seal, cash: You should also have some 10 yen coins to hand as well as bank notes.
Driving license, ID card, student ID card, health insurance card, etc.
