Disaster Preparedness Tokyo Manual ("Tokyo Bosai")
PDF available in English at: https://www.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/english/guide/bosai/index.html.[1]
Tokyo Bosai is a disaster preparedness manual (modeled after a manga) developed for Tokyo households by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and available in English. Though the content is comprehensive and high quality, PBEM has declined to publish and distribute it. Printing costs for a manual of this size makes for a very low return on investment (particularly printing information that anyone can find online for free). Though the manual is popular in Japan, there is no credible data suggesting Portlanders consume disaster preparedness information the same way Tokyoites do.
From the website linked above:
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has compiled a manual called “Disaster Preparedness Tokyo” (Tokyo Bousai) to help households get fully prepared for various potential disasters, including an earthquake directly hitting Tokyo. “Disaster Preparedness Tokyo” is tailored to the various local features of Tokyo, such as its urban structure and the lifestyles of its residents. It contains easy-to-understand information on how to prepare for and respond to a disaster. This information is useful both in the event of an emergency and to help you prepare proactively now.
A Portland-centered version, created by a local artist, is rumored to be published soon.
