Read the signs, say the right words, and know what to do when the ground moves.

Japan sits on the Ring of Fire and faces typhoons every autumn, so the language of preparedness is part of everyday life there — and the vocabulary is more learnable than you think.

By the end

You will be able to understand Japanese emergency alerts and evacuation signs, use the key vocabulary for earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons, and explain your own safety plan in simple Japanese.

Who this is for

JLPT N4-level learners who want practical, real-world Japanese for emergencies — whether they are watching NHK from abroad or landing in Tokyo next month.
