The Drill

There was the drill at Shirokane Takanawa today from 9:30-11:30. It was the community people gather together and experience the work of the fireman such as fire fighting and chain saw training, and experience the situation at the real fire.

The issue to think about

The disaster training were very useful to know what we should do at the real situation, however, people there were talking about a serious problem. They are worried about the foreigners who live in the Minato-word because foreigners do not know anything when there is any disaster. Therefore, they are trying to make opportunity to let foreigners to know information about the disaster by putting a translator at the drill training. However, there were no foreigners at all other than people from Temple. Usually, those drill trainings are for the neighborhood associations and people notice those events by looking at the circular bulletin. However, foreigners do not belong to those community and they don't know the way to inform such things to the foreigners.
