Osaka / 2014 Osaka 8.8 million training

http://www.pref.osaka.lg.jp/shobobosai/trainig_top/h26_880.html

This is a training to re-recognize the response in the event of an earthquake or tsunami, assuming the occurrence of a huge Nankai Trough earthquake, and this is the third training this year since it was conducted in 2012. The official leaflet created for this training looked like this.

The flow of training conducted on the day is as follows. Assuming that an earthquake occurred at exactly 11 o'clock, a big tsunami warning was announced 3 minutes later, and information was sent all at once in response to this.

11:00 am : Earthquake occurred (notified by in-house broadcast and outdoor speakers)
Around 11:03 am : Announcement of a large tsunami warning ( Area Mail for training and breaking news mail will arrive )
11: 05-30 am : Depending on the municipality, there are cases where information is sent for the second time on its own.

The public relations paper of Osaka Prefecture also introduces what kind of action should be taken when the information actually arrives, so it seems to be helpful.

According to the leaflet of Osaka Prefecture, the following tools will be used to disseminate information.

・ Outdoor speakers in the city, in-house broadcasts in facilities, and in-car broadcasts
・ Area Mail / Breaking News Mail Service of Mobile Phone Companies
E-mail from Osaka Disaster Prevention Net (pre-registration required)
・ Smartphone application ' Yahoo! Disaster Prevention Bulletin ' (pre-installation required)



You can check the correspondence for each municipality and the messages actually sent on the following page.

The reason why this is possible is that each mobile phone company has a contract for a 'disaster / evacuation information' distribution service between Osaka prefecture, and disaster and evacuation information is sent from Osaka prefecture to Osaka prefecture. Because it can be delivered directly to mobile phone terminals that support Area Mail and emergency bulletin mail in. The point is that even if you happen to be visiting Osaka from another area, the information will be delivered to your mobile phone.

The terminal that receives the 'disaster / evacuation information' will ring forcibly even in the manner mode, so set it if the mobile phone should not ring during classes, meetings, ceremonies, movie theaters, libraries, etc. Must be turned off or turned off in advance.

Of course, this information will also be delivered to the mobile phone of the person driving the car. Since this is training, he said, 'Even if the alarm sounds, concentrate on driving and do not operate the terminal.'

Furthermore, in order to distribute 'disaster / evacuation information' to the Osaka prefecture area, terminals near the border with other prefectures may ring even outside Osaka prefecture.

It is important to confirm that 'Oh, it rang properly, okay' when you actually received the information, but I would like to participate with the intention of simulating the response when a disaster actually occurs.

◆ Added at 12:20 on September 5, 2014
I received an Earthquake Early Warning email in Osaka city. On the screen, you can see that NTT DoCoMo's 'Area Mail' has arrived.



On the day of the event, we covered the situation around JR Osaka Station. Some people noticed the email and looked at the screen, but many seemed to be unaware.
