Some 2.35 million Japanese residents took part in a nationwide drill on Monday, September 1, as part of Disaster Prevention Day. The exercise is carried out annually on the anniversary of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, in which more than 100,000 people died. Dry runs are carried out each year in response to an imaginary magnitude 7.3 ‘quake hitting Tokyo in the early morning. Twelve-year-old Kyoko Okada took part in the drill at school.
