【訓練_This is a drill】Notice to Residents of Shizuoka Prefecture

This is Heita Kawakatsu, Governor of Shizuoka Prefecture. I would like to inform all residents of Shizuoka Prefecture that this is a drill. Just now, a large earthquake occurred in Shizuoka Prefecture, causing heavy damage throughout.

The Prefecture and all municipalities contained within have established disaster response centers and are responding to the situation with their utmost effort, placing the greatest priority on saving lives. They have also contacted the national government to request urgent assistance from the Self-Defense Forces and other rescue services.

I ask all residents of Shizuoka Prefecture to focus first and foremost on securing their own safety. There will be tsunamis striking multiple times. Please continue to evacuate until the evacuation order has been lifted. Please also take care to protect yourselves from aftershocks.

I also ask everybody to cooperate with and assist each other. It will take time for emergency rescue services to reach those affected. In the meantime, local disaster prevention organizations and firefighting squads must assume responsibility for rescue operations and extinguishment of fires. They must especially help vulnerable groups such as the weak and elderly.
The Prefecture and its constituent municipalities will continue to provide information via radio and loudspeaker broadcast. Please act calmly, do not listen to rumors, and adhere to the instructions of municipal employees and police officers.

People of Shizuoka Prefecture, let us unite and get through this unprecedented disaster together.
