(5) Obtaining accurate information.

When extensive damage has occurred and people are confused, it is very easy for incorrect information to spread.

At times like this, it is important for you to obtain accurate information about the disaster, and not be misled by false rumours.

It is necessary to pay constant attention to information given out by the town hall, the fire stations, the police stations and other organizations.

After an earthquake has struck, avoid making any unnecessary or non-urgent phone-calls.

Calling the fire station, etc. to inquire about the situation, should be avoided, as it can hinder fire fighting operations.
