The past years have shown we need to prepare for the worst earthquakes. So an earthquake, emergency kit (急救包) should be something we need to have. Well, that may not be a problem because you can buy your own one online.
According to experts, around 275 earthquakes are felt every day around the world. There is a 30% higher chance that you will survive (幸存) an earthquake if you have the kit.

So if you don't have an earthquake emergency kit at home, make one yourself or buy one online.
