* We are suffering electricity shortage, so we’d better avoid using unnecessary electricity and prepare dinner before dark.

(Even for people living in other regions, conserving electricity also helps to supply electricity to Kanto and Tohoku regions. Thank you for your cooperation!)

 

* If you need special milk or rice for children with allergies in earthquake‐stricken areas, try to contact them.

* If you see buildings with RED paper after earthquake, stay away from the buildings immediately. They have possibilities to collapse.

 

We still have many aftershocks. Please do stay safe!
