Go-bag & 3-day stockpile checklist

Official English · Tokyo Metropolitan Government

“An emergency bag is a bag that contains the minimum essentials needed for the time being after you evacuate. In preparing an emergency bag, it is important to think about what each of you would need, and select items to be put in the bag. Pack those items in bags such as knapsacks, and place them near the front entrance or in the bedroom, car, or shed so that you can carry them out even if your house has collapsed. If you have an infant or child, or if you are elderly, a woman, or have allergies, be sure to add items that you will require to your emergency bag.”

“Depending on the earthquake damage, you may be forced to evacuate. Prepare ‘emergency carry-out items’ to take with you when you evacuate. It is good to choose them from your stockpile, picking what you need for life as an evacuee. Keep them where they are easy to grab, such as the entrance or bedroom. If you put them in a bag you can carry on your back, both hands stay free.”

原文

地震の被害によっては、避難を余儀なくされることもあります。避難する時に持ち出す『非常持出品』を準備しておきましょう。非常持出品は、備蓄品の中から、避難生活に必要なものを選ぶのがよいでしょう。備蓄品にない場合は、必要に応じて準備しましょう。玄関や寝室など持ち出しやすいところに置いておき、すぐに持ち出せるようにしておきましょう。背負える袋などにいれておけば、持ち出したときに両手が使えて便利です。

“As a guide, stockpile at least about 3 days of water and food. What you need differs with family make-up, housing and the area. Check regularly against your family’s and area’s situation and expiry dates, and replace items as needed.”

原文

目安として最低限３日間程度の水や食料品は備蓄しましょう。家族構成、住居や地域の特性によって必要となるものは異なります。…家族、地域の状況や消費期限などと照らし合わせて定期的にチェックし、必要に応じて入れ替えましょう。
