“There is no decision that beats resolve” is a quote by Katsuya Nomura, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 84. He is the Triple Crown champion of the NLB (Pacific League) and is a famous manager who has won 1565 wins as a Japanese legend. Many of his disciples are now active.
Now, earthquakes are happening all over Japan these days. Since Kobe in 1995, other than the Tohoku earthquake in 2011 and also the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016, it has continued frequently. It has long been said that a Nankai earthquake (see below) will occur in the near future.

Preparedness is important, but disaster prevention is even more important.

By the way, I also do the following, at the very least.
1. When I go out, put "candy" or "chocolate" in my backpack.
This can sometimes be used instead of water or as emergency food.
2. At my home, I stow the emergency food and water (large PET bottles) for about a week, as well as batteries, flashlights, manual generators for smartphones, etc.
3. Family members have decided on a place to meet in case of an emergency.
For the time being, the place where my house is located is about 65 meters above sea level, so there is no need to worry about Tsunami, but everyone should see a hazard map at least once.
"If you're prepared, you won't have to worry."
On top of that, let's be prepared to "come someday!"
