I'm worried that an earthquake will really happen

There was an earthquake in Osaka the other day.
I saw a post on SNS saying “The country says it might be 17 times the Great East Japan Earthquake.”
It's scary to think I might die.
Will I die in middle school?

In order to get rid of anxiety, let's be aware of disaster prevention.

No one knows that.

I'm also in Kansai, so I felt the tremors.
Every time there is an earthquake, I feel heartbroken thinking about friends who have lost their lives due to the earthquake.
Even if there is a disaster, I don't want any lives taken.

Information can be shared instantaneously on SNS ◎
However, it is necessary to clearly determine which is the latest and what is accurate information from among them.
Intentional misinformation may also be spread.
I don't know what information made you uneasy. In a country called Japan, which has many faults, earthquakes also occur frequently. It is impossible to say that major earthquakes will not occur in the future.

That's why disaster prevention is so important.
You'll also need stockpiles.
How do you prevent it, how do you respond, and how do you cooperate and help each other?
There are probably people around you who feel uneasy about acting alone, such as children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
If you can afford it, reach out to people in such positions.

What should I do if an earthquake hits?
if you die.
In order to get rid of such anxiety, let's be aware of disaster prevention.
Let's check with each other carefully, even as a family.
To protect precious lives.

Anyway, what are we going to do today all day?

“Will I die while I'm in middle school?”
earthquakes... are really scary, aren't they? Thinking about disasters is scary, even if you're not in middle school, being a kid is scary. Various disaster prevention know-how has been invented, and I often hear about earthquake resistance, but to what extent can it really resist the ferocity of nature...

However, if you think about it carefully, on the contrary, don't you think it's strange to be alive now?
I didn't get hit by cars a lot today. My heart often didn't stop. I didn't have to get stabbed from behind by thugs all the time. There's no point.

There is no guarantee that you will die because of an earthquake, but whether an earthquake comes or not, there must have been no guarantee that you will be able to live safely yesterday or today.

“Even if the world were to die tomorrow, I will plant an apple tree today.”
by Luther

If you could live safely tomorrow, what would you do?
hey, what are you going to do?? what are you going to do??

I get excited every day just thinking about it.

The feeling of thanks is more important than worrying

 Thank you for your question. I think they also felt tremendous tremors in the Kinki region, but I understand the feeling of believing information on SNS, but the current situation is that I don't understand the information is reliable. I want to avoid people dying in earthquakes, but if an earthquake occurs, I think I'm fine, so I feel safe, but I feel that the feeling of thanks is important. Gassho
