Earthquake disaster response seminar for non-Japanese residents Earthquake knowhow: “Two magnitude-7 earthquakes hit the Kumamoto region and caused a seemingly endless series of aftershocks. The sudden tremors seriously frightened residents who were often left feeling confused and helpless after each and every outbreak. Some people were so traumatized that they couldn’t even go home or fall asleep for quite some time afterward.  That’s why we have planned a seminar where we can get together to learn about the actual mechanics of earthquakes and think about what to expect in their aftermath, as well as what to do in general if and when one strikes. So come and brush up on your earthquake knowhow. Who knows? It might just save your life!”
