A Disaster Prevention and Volunteer Week Event to be held on January 21 (Saturday), 2012, January 22 (Sunday)

The "Shinjuku Earthquake-Resistance Forum 2012" will be held as one of the events in the "Disaster Prevention and Volunteer Week."
Please take a sufficient fresh look at the stance toward the great earthquake once again.
　We want to have your think in concrete terms about the earthquake resistance of your home, the stance of your workplace, and the way to respond if you are struck by a big earthquake when your lifelines have been cut off or you are away from home.
It is not possible to stop earthquakes, but it should be possible to reduce the damage they inflict.
It is possible to face natural disasters close to you through experience.
Please take this opportunity to consider the links between individual people and the importance of the life of every person through participation in this event with your family and people from your area.
