Weather forecaster Takayasu Naoko: "We've come to the Yokohama Disaster Prevention Center!" At the Yokohama Disaster Prevention Center, you can learn in a fun way through a simulated disaster experience. Weather forecaster Takayasu Naoko: "The shaking is so strong that you can't stand up." This time, I experienced the shaking of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (occurred on January 17, 1995, maximum seismic intensity 7), and even though I knew the shaking was coming, it was still pretty scary. Also, since fires are more likely to break out after an earthquake, I learned how to use a fire extinguisher and how to escape from smoke. Weather forecaster Takayasu Naoko: "I can't see anything at all... If I get low, I can see a little, but it's hard to see." The speed at which we move forward changes a lot depending on whether there is smoke or not. In addition, there are experiences that are unique to urban areas... Yokohama Disaster Prevention Center Section Chief Ota Naruki: "Here, you can experience using an emergency escape ladder for an apartment building." Newscaster Izumi Mai: "I've seen one, but I've never actually touched one." That's right. Many emergency escape ladders have child locks. Caster Izumi Mai: "I see. If you don't know, you'll panic in an emergency, so it's important to experience it at times like this." Yes. However, the survey results showed that one in four people have not taken measures, such as stockpiling, despite wanting to do so. I feel that we need to raise disaster prevention awareness in the future. ▼TBS NEWS DIG Official Website https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Please subscribe to our channel! / @tbsnewsdig ▼Information provided by "TBS Insiders" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/tbs-ins... ▼Video provided by "TBS Scoop Post" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/toukou.... #News #news #TBS #newsdig
