“‘Some things happened that we could not have predicted until they actually took place. We learned many lessons,’ Suzuki said. For example, the company now recommends that employees carry their wallets, purses, and home and car keys with them at all times. Many of the production line workers previously stored them in the locker room after changing into their uniforms. If an earthquake takes place, lockers may fall over and the room itself might be rendered inaccessible, leaving the workers stranded without money and unable to drive to or get into their homes.”

I hope “the next big one” is far away – both geographically and temporally. :)
