Earthquakes can occur at any time. Disasters can strike suddenly, just when we have forgotten about them.

It is said that each person needs 3 liters of water per day. It's a good idea to have at least three days' worth of water for the whole family.
Make it a habit to practice "rolling stocks," which involves repeating the cycle of "stockpiling a little extra food" → "eating it in your daily life" → "buying only as much as you have eaten."
In order to be able to evacuate quickly in case of an emergency, keep emergency food and a flashlight in an "emergency bag." Also, make sure everyone in your family knows where it is stored.
When electricity is restored after a power outage, power may flow to damaged electrical appliances, causing a fire. Before heading to an evacuation shelter, be sure to turn off the breaker.
When gas is restored, be sure to turn off the gas main valve to prevent an explosion due to a gas leak. Also, whenever you use gas after an earthquake, be sure to check for gas leaks.
