4. SOFAファミリー向けアドバイス｜SOFA Family Tips
Check your local evacuation center
"避難所（hinanjo）"は最寄りの学校とは限りません。Evacuation shelters aren’t always the nearest school.Keep a grab bag by the door
緊急時は「1分未満」で家を出る場合もあります。Some emergencies give you less than a minute to leave.Learn how to turn off gas & water
ガスや水道の元栓の位置・操作を必ず事前に確認。Ask your landlord or neighbor how to shut off gas/water.
5. よくある失敗＆現地ならではの注意点｜Common Pitfalls & Local Know-How
英語だけで安心しない
Many announcements at evacuation centers or from local authorities are in Japanese only.
（避難所や行政アナウンスは日本語メイン）日本の避難訓練文化に参加する
Join local disaster drills—it's a great way to learn and connect with neighbors!
（日本の避難訓練に参加することで、学べる＆つながれる）台風後は停電・断水が数日続くことも
After typhoons, power and water outages can last several days. Fill your bathtub with water in advance just in case.
（台風の後は停電・断水が続くことも。お風呂に水をためて備えよう）飛散物・倒木・ゴミ収集ルールも事前確認
Secure balcony items to prevent them from being blown away, avoid parking under old trees or power lines, and check local garbage collection rules—they often change after a disaster.
（ベランダの物は片付け、古い木や電線の下には駐車しない。ゴミのルールも事前確認を）
6. 英語で使える！災害フレーズ集｜Useful Phrases (Romaji & Easy Japanese)
Where is the nearest evacuation shelter?
