With a typhoon approaching, I had been wondering what would happen, but given the situation, the postponement seems unavoidable.
Details of the Next J-Alert Broadcast
At around 11:00 a.m. on 7/1 (Wed.), the announcement “This is a J-Alert test” will be broadcast three times.
The same message will be played through 147 disaster prevention speakers across the city (disaster prevention administrative radio system), as well as on emergency alert radios. Emails will also be sent to people registered with the Nishinomiya Disaster Prevention Network.
If you miss the broadcast, you can also check it by calling 050-5578-2628 (call charges apply).
Upcoming Drill Schedule
This drill is actually scheduled to take place again in the future. (Please note that the 6/3 drill has been moved to 7/1.)

Finally
These drills happen several times a year, but they always make you a little tense. Since a typhoon is approaching right now, it had me feeling even more on edge. Let’s stay alert so we can respond calmly if something ever happens.
