A gas leak occurred in Yamaguchi prefecture today. As a result, fires were reported and gas supply was suspended. Some elementary schools also suffered serious effects such as evacuees taking shelter there, making school meals difficult. In addition, some restaurants lost 300,000 yen in one day because they couldn't cook, so they canceled all group reservations. The hot spring facilities had to be closed because there was no hot water. Gas is essential to people's daily lives. My family is taking some measures in case of a big earthquake or emergency. For example, if we can't take a bath, we can use a body sheet or dry shampoo. In case the water ever goes out, we store water to drink, and we also buy small gas cylinders and gas stoves so that we will be able to cook. Japan is said to be one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. It's really important to prepare for emergencies. Of course, I don't think this is enough, so I'd like to review it again. The specific cause of the gas leak is unknown, and the gas supplier seems to be investigating the situation, so I hope it will be resolved soon. It's very cold these days, so people in the affected areas are praying for the gas to be restored quickly in order to stay warm.
