When the earthquake occured, I was at home.
Though a tremor with an intensity of 6-lower in Kashiwa, being things in my house taken brief disaster measures, earthquake ended up only making scattering things in my room.
But the wall which furniture was fixed on was creaking.
Taking anti-skid device seats under the dishes seemed to be very effective.
I heard my neighbors say that "Dishes splashed from cupboard." or "Our TV have fallen and broken.".
Having heard it, I thought that we don't disaster measures to protecting us from damages but to secure time when the earthquakes occurs.
However properly we fix furniture to the wall, if the wall was strip, we won't be able to take refuge without any damages.
I thought that tremors of the earthquake may similar to that of trains.
But we may not be able to move well in the earthquake like in the trains, and it up to how calmly we can be.
So if you have taken disaster measures, you must be as if you didn't take any steps.
Because I've gone through tremors with equipment many times to make this site, I could be calmly.
But my mother hasn't and she was in a panic.
Again, I strongly recommend you to go through it.
Cracks on the wall is as brittle as if you touch it, it will fall to pieces.
A lot of cracks is along inferior border of windows.
At the upper floors, tremors of earthquakes having become bigger, drainspouts have come off.
My neighborhood took refuge from the earthquake at the park.
After second aftershock occured, the number of neighborhood who have taken refuge increased all at once.
When the aftershocks occured, I was calling around the park to lead people who have gone out.
What I have realized then was sheltering people were apt to think about bulidings, and walked on the opposite side of load of buildings.
But near of there was a parking lot, because of tremors, cars where were parked on there
swerved to the load.
This was dangerous for sheltering children I thought, so I called and asked people to pass on the center of load.
I found that there were dangerous factors in the places which we had not minded, all over again.
Car drivers should be careful to put on the side brakes and stop the car.
