■今のうちに冬の地震への対策を(What you can do now to prepare for winter earthquakes)
食料品や水などを多めに備えるほか、冬の地震ならではの対策も大切です。ここでは、冬の地震の被害を減らすための対策を紹介します。
In addition to stocking up on food and water, it is also important to take measures specific to winter earthquakes. Here we will introduce measures to minimize damage from winter earthquakes.

▽〔対策〕ストーブ(Heater safety)
耐震自動消火機能付きの物を使い、定期的に点検を。また、揺れによって燃えやすい物が近づいて引火する危険もあるため、周りに物を置かないようにしましょう。
Use heaters with automatic earthquake-resistant fire-extinguishing functions and check their condition regularly. Also, do not place flammable items near the heater as they may catch fire if they come into contact with the device during shaking.

▽〔対策〕非常持ち出し品(Emergency supplies)
すぐに避難できるように、非常時に持ち出す最低限必要な物をリュックサックなどにまとめておきましょう。特に冬は防寒用品を多めに用意して、季節ごとに必要な物を入れ替えておくと安心です。
To be able to evacuate quickly, prepare a backpack containing the bare minimum you would need in an emergency； in winter, be sure to include extra cold weather gear. It’s a good idea to switch out the items you need each season.

▽〔対策〕家具(Securing furniture)
揺れによって転倒や移動した家具の下敷きになったり、部屋の出入り口がふさがれたりすると、避難できずに、火災や低体温症で命を落とす危険が高まります。L字型金具などの転倒防止器具を使って壁や天井に固定するほか、避難の妨げにならないような配置になっているかを確認しましょう。
If someone is crushed by furniture that has fallen or shifted due to the shaking, or if an entrance or exit is blocked, they will be unable to evacuate, and the risk of losing their life to fire or hypothermia increases. In addition to using L-shaped metal fittings and other fall prevention devices to secure items to the walls and ceiling, make sure furniture is positioned in a way that will not impede evacuation.
