flames after the quake stops.

because of people trying to confirm the
safety of themselves or others. This can
obstruct emergency phone calls, such as
110, 119, and utility information.
Please avoid unnecessary phone calls.

person, try to use the NTT Disaster
Telephone Message Service (171) or make
conversations as short as possible.

information can spread
during disasters, leading
to further confusion. Obtain
accurate information from
the TV or radio and don’t get
tricked by misinformation.
