01How My Family Prepares for an Earthquake
Hello, everyone. I live in Shizuoka, Japan, where earthquake drills are part of school life. My family takes preparation seriously. Today, I'll explain the steps we take.
皆さん、こんにちは。私は静岡に住んでいて、ここでは地震の避難訓練が学校生活の一部です。私の家族は、備えを真剣に考えています。今日は、私たちがしていることを順番に説明します。
02Step 1: Store Water and Food
First, we store water and food. The Japanese government suggests about three liters of drinking water per person per day for at least three days, and about a week's supply for a large disaster. For our family of four, that's at least thirty-six liters.
まず、水と食べ物をためておきます。日本の政府は、飲み水を1人1日約3リットル、少なくとも3日分、大きな災害に備えるなら1週間分くらいためておくようすすめています。4人家族のわが家なら、少なくとも36リットルです。

03Step 2: Secure Furniture
Next, we make our home safer. We fixed our tall bookshelves to the wall, and we keep heavy things on low shelves so they can't fall on anyone.
次に、家を安全にします。背の高い本棚を壁に固定し、重いものは低い棚に置いて、だれの上にも落ちてこないようにしています。
04Step 3: Pack an Emergency Bag
Then, each of us has an emergency bag near the door. Inside, there's a flashlight, a phone charger, medicine, some snacks, and copies of important documents.
それから、一人ひとりがドアの近くに非常用持ち出し袋を置いています。中には、懐中電灯、スマホの充電器、薬、少しのおやつ、そして大事な書類のコピーが入っています。
05Step 4: Make a Family Plan
After that, we made a family plan. We decided where to meet if we're separated, and how to contact each other if phone lines are busy.
そのあと、家族の計画を立てました。はぐれたときにどこで会うか、電話がつながりにくいときにどうやって連絡を取り合うかを決めました。
06Step 5: Check Twice a Year
Finally, we check everything twice a year. We replace old water and food, and we practice our plan, so everyone remembers what to do.
最後に、年に2回すべてを点検します。古くなった水や食べ物を入れ替え、計画を練習して、みんながやるべきことを覚えているようにします。
07Conclusion
In conclusion, we can't stop earthquakes, but we can prepare for them. Start with one step this week, like storing water. Thank you.
まとめると、地震を止めることはできませんが、備えることはできます。今週、水をためておくことなど、一つのことから始めてみてください。ありがとうございました。
