Something I learned while living in Tokyo is that the two major risks here are not the disasters themselves, but the "side effects" of those: - Earthquakes, yes some houses fall down and people die, but in general the bigger risks is the fires that spread from broken gas pipes and broken water pipes. Oh, and tsunamis. - Typhoons, some people die from a direct hit from flying debris, but it's normally the floods and earth slides that are the issue and kill most people. I'm from a quiet calm part of the Mediterranean so I'm not used to this at all. Many of the cities around there even moved the rivers away from the cities to avoid floods in heavy rains. As for prep, I can live 1 week easily in my home (lots of water, enough food). Which I hope not, but might need those if the coronavirus hits Tokyo as strongly as China. And I'm thinking of buying some more just in case since some companies are sending their workers to work from home for 2 weeks.
