People should stop thinking that they will be safe. Japan is a quake-prone country. I recommend that each of us should visualize how to protect ourselves from the collapse of something if a quake stri

From the collapse of the government.

Nothing can protect us. So what ? We all leave Japan ?

It's surprising that so many gaijin elect to stay in Japan! Although I guess the areas down near Nagasaki must be fairly safe....

There's lots of quakes, but most cause limited damage. A few cause significant death and damage. Only one so far has caused widespread radioactive contamination, and perhaps the collapse of the local nuclear industry. (It wasn't the tsunami, it was the earthquake that ruptured cooling pipes.) That's one collapse I don't want to be protected from!
