This leaflet was produced by AIG Japan with support from the Kansai International Airport Overall Plan based on a partnership agreement with Osaka prefecture for disaster prevention.

When you feel an Earthquake
- Don’t panic or rush outside. Assume a safe position while protecting your head to avoid falling objects. Keep away from glass windows.
- When you are in a building, stay inside unless there is a fire or visible damage to the building, and be on alert for aftershocks. (High-rise buildings in Japan are intentionally designed to shake in order to absorb earthquake motion and minimize damage. Elevators will stop automatically to ensure safety.)
- Check the TV, Radio or Internet to determine the extent of damage in the impacted area and listen for any necessary evacuation information. (NHK General TV provides ongoing, regularly updated information during disasters. Press “….” on the TV remote to hear the simultaneous English translation.)
- Speak to people around you to confirm whether there is any danger of tsunami and need for evacuation.
We cannot predict when Earthquake will occur. However, when the Japan Meteorological Agency detects on imminent Earthquake and issues an alert, mobile phones will sound on emergency alert automatically.
Where to evacuate?
Where should you evacuate in the event of a major disaster? What should you do if power outages occur or if public transportation is no longer in service.
- First of all, talk to Japanese residents around you and try to understand the status of your location. If you can walk back to your hotel, stay there. In case the hotel cannot accommodate you during the disaster, move to the designated evacuation place under the hotel’s guidance. When it is impossible to return to your hotel, go to the nearest public school or city hall in the area. Be sure to inform those around you that you are a foreign tourist. If you are injured, tell someone and ask for help.
In Japan, public schools serve as evacuation shelters during large scale disasters. Emergency food and drink rations will be provided to the extent possible.
The green public signs on the above brochure indicate evacuation areas and evacuation center.

Speak to Japanese
Talk to Japanese people around you by using this support tool in case of a disaster. If you have a pen and paper handy, you will be able to communicate more smoothly.
