On September 1, 2021 (Disaster Preparedness Day), the Prime Minister took part in the FY2021 Comprehensive Disaster Management Drills together with all Cabinet members.
This year, the drills were conducted based on a scenario in which an earthquake occurred at around 7:10 a.m., with a magnitude of 7.3, a maximum seismic intensity of 7, and its epicenter under the 23 wards of Tokyo.
As part of the drills, the Prime Minister walked to the assembling point at the Prime Minister’s Office and held the first meeting of the Extreme Disaster Management Headquarters in a virtual format. Afterwards, the Prime Minister held a press conference to explain the overview of the earthquake and the status of the Government’s response and to give a message to the people.
