Government Central Disaster Prevention Council Earthquake directly under Tokyo “Confirmed promotion of countermeasures for households, etc.”

The government's Central Disaster Prevention Council was held, and in order to reduce the damage caused by a hypothetical earthquake directly hitting the Tokyo metropolitan area, the government confirmed its policy to work with related organizations to ``generally install'' seismic breakers to prevent fires in residential buildings in densely populated urban areas, and to ensure that all households stock up on at least three days' worth of emergency food and drinking water.
