[Sunset Hill] September 22, 2010 08:30

On September 19 (Sun), a large number of people were cycling on Eitai-dori St. toward Tokyo Station.

If you look closely, elementary school students are also interacting with adults.

Running on the road

 

Unlike weekdays, the amount of vehicles running on Eitai-dori St. is very small.

Can you run safely and comfortably?

Is it possible to escape by opening the door to the outside water side, such as when 40 cm water accumulates in front of the door?

The water feels so heavy that the door doesn't open easily.

You should run away before 40cm!

I remember it.

Participating companies and organizations felt reassured by the training and activities prepared on a daily basis in preparation for disasters.

In the event of a disaster, I realized a little how I should act.

In addition, I felt the need for solidarity among the neighbors.
