In the recent video by NHK WORLD-JAPAN, titled “Tsunami: Everyday Preparation,” viewers are advised on the importance of immediate evacuation in the event of a strong earthquake near coastal areas. The video emphasizes the urgency of moving away from the coast and seeking higher ground, due to the potential threat of a tsunami, which could even travel upriver. It also highlights the necessity of having a predetermined evacuation plan for every family member, regardless of their location during an earthquake.

- It is important to know your designated evacuation area in advance.
