Recently, Japan has been experiencing frequent earthquakes, prompting the government to advise residents to prepare emergency kits containing supplies for at least 3 days to a week. These measures are essential due to the potential disruption in logistics and shortages of essential goods caused by natural disasters.

The government recommends including long-lasting food items like ready-to-eat meals, canned meats, and instant curry, along with advising adults to store approximately 3 liters of water per day. Additionally, heating devices such as portable stoves are considered crucial for cooking during outages, helping to maintain emotional well-being and physical health.

The 'circular storage method' encourages citizens to stock up on their usual food supplies and save leftovers to ensure sufficient food inventories while minimizing waste. Many stores in Japan are also beginning to sell an array of emergency supplies, further aiding residents in their disaster preparedness efforts.
