Since my Japanese language skills are less than desirable, I find myself being extra diligent. Will I be prepared if something happens? Will I find the help I, or my family, needs in the time of need? Questions like these come to my head any time the topic of preparing for a disaster arises.
Knowing that the Japanese governmental agencies are so prepared calms my mind. Well, it calms it a bit anyway. I'm impressed with their volunteer corps and plans for disasters. More importantly, I am impressed with how they get the message out to the public. Disaster preparation is continually discussed and promoted, so everyone knows the basics. And that is most comforting of all.
Today's fair was fun for my son because he ran into a couple of his classmates. He was thrilled to fight fires as well as eat lunch with his friends. He enjoys doing all sorts of activities at these fairs. The dreams about being a firefighter are reignited each time we attend something like this. Being allowed to propel across a line made him super excited.
Although these fairs stress me out, I'm so glad we continue to attend. After all, being prepared is what is most important.
