“If an earthquake occurs in Tatebayashi, Gunma Prefecture, the first tremor arrives here in 10 seconds, and then a strong jolt follows in 18 seconds. I want you to use this time as effectively as possible.”
Akira Usui (section head of general affairs of Mitsukoshi department store in Nihonbashi, Chuo Ward, Tokyo) explaining to his staff about the new early warning system for earthquakes the store will soon make use of.
