If you currently live in Japan, you¡¯ll doubtless have already put together some sort of emergency evacuation bag with all the essential supplies in case disaster strikes ... right?
If you haven¡¯t, then hop to it! Japan is a country prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and typhoons. However, a new layer has been added to all this catastrophe: COVID-19. So, your emergency kit is likely in need of an update.
