Gov't holds annual disaster drill, scaled back due to COVID

Seen these drills 'held back' because of bad weather as well.

The Japanese believe that pandemics or abnormal weather never happen on the first of September it seems.

Is this a drill to prepare for natural disasters or a disastrous government? If the latter, its a little too late.

Guy in blue looks a bit lonely?

scaling it back to prevent the spread of COVID-19

What's the point when it's rampant and out of control here?

They will get plenty real practice,a Typhoon is headed near all of Japan

In this picture, probably similar to last year, they appear lost.

. . . nice photo with the Metropolitan Police Department.

Most of the pictures that made the news were of men sitting around big tables, listening to briefings, or standing around. That's just like a normal day. It would be better to prepare for a disaster. Japan has had massive flooding for two years now. It might be a good idea to improve drainage and flood control systems now. Instead of depending on government workers for disaster recovery, how about promoting volunteerism and training? Example: The Daito islands were just hit by a Super Typhoon with gusts up to 75 MPS (270 KPH). They survived and had most of the damage and debris cleaned up within two days. Why is that? Hint: it wasn't the government doing the work. Now Miyako and Ishigaki islands are about to be hit by the same storm, and NHK was trying to tell them to be prepared. LOL

I see about 50 dudes all crowding each other.

If this is scaled back, how many are usually out there?

69 dudes all crowding each other?

my city had massive flooding two years ago.

They are now reinforcing the river embankments. raising the height. I hope it is not gomme be more concrete. They had to cut all the beautiful sakuras for the work.

The annual, learn how to use a fire extinguisher day. They do all their training based on the premises that they'll have power, they should shut it down and then see how command and control works.
