As the scale of a disaster becomes larger, the number of injured increases more and more, so that physicians and fire stations may not be able to cope.
Therefore, it is important for residents to cooperate with each other in the emergency treatment of minor injuries.
After the main shock has subsided, people buried under collapsed buildings will need to be rescued, but nothing can be done with your bare hands.
It will be useful at such times if you have prepared rescue tools and stored them where they are easily found.
Tools necessary for rescue work are crowbars, picks, mallets, shovels, fire hooks, iron pipes, ladder saws etc.
