In April, we worked with only foreign volunteers for the first time. We were a bit nervous before we started, but once we got going, it was nothing to worry about.

　We're going to packing from 10:00 to 11:00 on 12 June.The venue is the "Shien Corner" on the 1st floor of Miyamae Ward Office.  Participants are welcome！ Please let us know by e-mail (69tisin@city.kawasaki.jp) at least one day in advance or come directly to the venue on June 12.

The tour was successfully completed. There were 7 participants (Kazakhstan, France, Mexico, and Russia). Two members of the newly formed volunteer group "Puck no Kai" came to interpret and take photos. All participants had signed up for the tour after reading the flyer in the Welcome Pack that they received at the ward office when they moved to Miyamae Ward. Immediately after the tour, one of the participants said, "Disaster prevention is important. I will come back next year ." 

　Miyamae Comprehensive Disaster Drill is conducted for residents in Miyamae Ward, regardless of nationality, who would be affected by a natural disaster. This drill is very important especially for people from countries which have little or no experience of earthquake and/or typhoon. Let us experience and learn together how to take appropriate actions at the time of disaster!!  　<Advance application required>

Hello, this is the Welcome Subcommittee.

Six of us, including one visitor, packed 59 Welcome Packs into bags and delivered them to the ward office.

What is the Welcome Pack?

Welcome Packs are envelopes filled with multilingual information materials. With the cooperation of the Miyamae Ward Office Citizens' Division, the packs are distributed to foreign residents who have moved to Miyamae.

　We are sorry that some of you who applied after February 9 could not be recognized due to machine trouble. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. We will make every effort to prevent this from happening again.

Miyamae Comprehensive Disaster Drill is conducted for residents in Miyamae Ward, regardless of nationality, who would be affected by a natural disaster. This drill is very important especially for people from countries which have little or no experience of earthquake and/or typhoon. But it might require courage to attend the disaster drill alone. Let us experience and learn together how to take appropriate actions at the time of disaster!!  　<Advance application required>
