Join Our Disaster Preparedness Experience — March 14 & 21

Peace Boat Disaster Relief (PBV) will hold two Disaster Preparedness Experience sessions for foreign residents in Japan on March 14 and March 21, 2026, in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

This hands-on program combines a guided visit to a Disaster Prevention Center with a practical disaster preparedness workshop, helping participants build confidence and skills to stay safe during emergencies in Japan.

 

Hands-On Museum Experience

Participants will visit the Ikebukuro Disaster Prevention Center and take part in realistic disaster simulations, including:
☑︎Earthquake shaking simulation
☑︎Smoke evacuation maze
☑︎Fire extinguisher training

While the center normally conducts tours in simple Japanese, PBV staff will provide full English interpretation for this program.

After the museum visit, participants will move to a nearby venue for a 90-minute seminar focused on everyday disaster preparedness, followed by a Q&A session.

Topics include:
☑︎Preparing for earthquakes, typhoons, and floods
☑︎Evacuation rules and emergency communication
☑︎Emergency bags and home stockpiles
☑︎Daily life during emergencies (food, warmth, toilets)
☑︎Participants will receive practical guidance and take-home materials.
