Osaka / Osaka 8.8 million training

Suddenly at 11 am, the cell phone rings with a sound different from the normal ringtone. As I looked at it, the message "Training report DRILL (Osaka prefecture)" was arrived.


I tapped "details" and displayed the full sentence. This is just a training, but what I want you to think about what to do if an earthquake actually occurs.


This time, the terminal that received this notificationGALAXY SII WiMAX ISW 11 SC. In the case of au, the "au disaster countermeasure" application is preset if it is an Android smartphone released on or after January 2012. Even with the earlier models, "au disaster countermeasures" Can be used (excluding IS 01)

In the case of a preset, it may not be conscious, but it is this icon.


"Au Disaster Countermeasures" has two functions of "Disaster Message Board" and "Emergency Bulletin Mail"


"Emergency bulletin mail" was used this time. When an emergency such as an earthquake occurs, urgent mail is sent like this in this way. Note that it can not be received while the power is off or during a call. Also, if the radio wave condition is bad, it may not be received, but in that case you can not receive the notification again.


"Osaka 8.8 million people training" posters and other publicity activities had been done by various means, but was suddenly surprised by the ringing of the mobile phone, many people from 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Osaka The official website was getting extremely difficult to connect. Is it okay in this state though it is training?

In addition, since it is not Osaka Prefecture that mail was sent to all terminals that are in a state where emergency bulletin mail can be received, when there really is something, there will be some uncertainty as to whether or not a quick report will come properly.
