I went to Chitose with 30 neighborhood association members.

  In the morning, it was raining heavily when I stood for a crossing guard. But the rain stopped when I returned home at 8:00. At 9:00, I got on a bus with 30 neighbors and started for Chitose. We were going to Chitose to learn about how to prevent ourselves from natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, or eruptions of volcanos. There is a good institute named "Sonaeru", which means "Get ready". In the institute, we learned  how to evacuate from smoke in the burning building. Then, we could experience strong earthquakes, for example, the Tokachi off-the coast earthquake in 1952, and the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake, etc. Disasters will happen any time, so we always have to be ready.
