Every year, more and more foreign people are coming
to live in Japan. The number of tourists visiting Japan is
growing, too. Many of them don't know what to do in an
earthquake. It's necessary for us to be prepared to help
them.
Wakaba City had an evacuation drill for foreign
residents and visitors yesterday.
In the drill, they
experienced some simulations and learned how they can
protect themselves. They followed instructions given in
English and easy Japanese.
The city handed out an evacuation map (made by
Wakaba Junior High School students.
The map uses
simple symbols and pictures. It shows people where they
should go in a disaster.

We interviewed some students at the school. One
said, "We're glad to help foreign people. It's important for
everyone to help each other and
and work
together."
Yesterday was a good start. Everyone should be prepared.
