State Minister for Disaster Management Goshi Hosono announced that an "emergency appeal" will be issued to the entire nation on November 2, coinciding with the launch of the "Disaster Management Agency," urging people to prepare for disasters. State Minister Goshi Hosono: At least 3 days, though I'd personally prefer to say a week, we ask that you thoroughly prepare food, toilets, and water at home, even without public assistance. Appearing on Fuji TV's online program "Let's Start the News Overtime," Minister Hosono stated that upon the establishment of the Disaster Management Agency on November 2, an "emergency appeal" will be issued to central government ministries, all prefectures, and all citizens to advance disaster preparedness. He also highlighted preparations for national crisis-level disasters, such as the Nankai Trough earthquake, Tokyo inland earthquake, mega-earthquakes along the Chishima and Japan Trenches, and a Mt. Fuji eruption. Furthermore, placing the improvement of evacuation center environments as top priority, he stated his intention to enhance "TKBB"—adding "bath" to "TKB" ("Toilet, Kitchen (warm meals), Bed")—through public-private partnerships.
