In An Emergency

Japan is a country that experiences natural phenomena on a regular basis, such as earthquakes and typhoons. Sometimes, these can cause damage which can lead to emergency situations. This page details some ways we can be prepared.

Warning App​

Make sure you have a disaster early-warning app installed on your phone. Yurekuru Call is a recommended one in English.

Evacuation​

In the case of the seminary being damaged, you may have to move to an evacuation centre.

In this case, your closest evacuation centre is the Hirose Junior High School (1 Chome-9-1 Ayashichuo, Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi 989-3128).

Tips for Earthquakes​

  • Keep calm & protect yourself under something large like a table or (if in bedroom) under a pillow or duvet blanket
  • Check fire sources (such as stove); if fire has started, remain calm and put it out
  • Be careful of fallen objects or broken glass
  • Make sure you have a way out of the building when shaking stops
  • If you are outside, stay away from concrete walls or other objects that may fall
  • In the event of a large fire as a result of earthquake, assemble in the temporary evacuation area nearest you (as stated above)
  • Make sure everyone is accounted for
  • Get the right information about courses of action from local authorities, radio, TV, fire station, etc.
