Disaster survival kits are on sale at a store in Tokyo. The bigger one even has an inflatable mattress. Neither of them has food.

These kits and emergency food supplies are big sellers in the US. You can go to any COSTCO in the US and buy a year's food supply. There's a lot more to being prepared for a disaster than just buying kits. You need a plan, and you need to practice it. In Japan, people seem to depend on the government to do everything. People even wait in their broken houses for the government to inspect them before they clean up and fix the damage. We all need to prepare ourselves. Then, we can live with peace of mind.

Do some research on "bug out" kits to get some direction on what you need.

Does the US kit include an AR-15 to hold off the "usual suspects" who start looting after every natural disaster in the US?

When the Kumamoto quakes hit, I was fortunate to have all of my camping supplies in one space so could root them out in the pitch black. Not a whole lot is needed - help will arrive soon - but at minimum, a tent and sleeping bags are a necessity.

We have a bag like Robert De Niro in 'Heat'.

Apart from the canned biscuits and mysterious meat.

Food packs would be useful .. plus some dehydrated water.
