Venue

Tokyo Fire Department Ikebukuro Disaster Prevention Learning Center (Toshima Ward)

The number of foreigners living in Tokyo has exceeded 770,000 and is steadily increasing. Many of them have no knowledge or experience of disasters, so it is an urgent task to raise awareness of self-help among foreigners by raising awareness of disaster prevention.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is working with the Disaster Prevention Center to provide foreign visitors with hands-on tours with interpreters to help them learn about disaster prevention rules in Tokyo and take appropriate evacuation actions in the event of a disaster.
We have received very positive feedback from participants, with comments such as “The experience left a deep impression on me. I want to be more mindful of disaster prevention,” “I gained knowledge not only about helping myself but also about helping others,” and “I want to share this information with my family and friends.” Please invite your friends and family to join us!
