When a sudden, devastating earthquake hits, brother and sister Mirai and Yuki are alone in Odaiba. They head home with their single mother, Mari, who happens to be there. This work, which realistically depicts the devastation and tragedy of earthquakes, offers insight into how to act in the event of a major earthquake.
Don't get separated!
When a major earthquake occurs, transportation stops. Then, many people who just want to get home start moving at the same time. When the rush hour begins, the first thing you need to do is be careful not to get separated from your family or friends who are traveling together. If you do get separated, mobile phone and smartphone lines will be more congested than usual, making it difficult to stay in touch. Mirai also almost got separated from her friends at one point, but Mari managed to find her and they avoided getting lost. Mari held hands with the three of them to prevent them from getting separated.
Securing Water, Food, and Other Supplies
As mentioned above, if public transportation is disrupted, you'll be forced to travel mostly on foot. To build up your strength, you must first secure water and food. In the event of an earthquake, hardtack and water may be distributed in parks and other locations. However, if you have difficulty finding these locations online, you'll need to identify crowded areas and find a place distributing supplies. Mirai was in a dire situation, unable to go to the bathroom, but she managed to escape by using a portable toilet.
Let's go to school!
When a disaster strikes, schools that can accommodate a large number of people often become evacuation centers. These schools often serve as evacuation centers, providing meals and accommodations. Mirai and her three friends decided to rest at Rokka Girls' Academy, where Mirai attends. However, as the number of people gathered increases, they are often faced with a tragic reality... Mirai and Yuki are also heartbroken when they encounter a classmate grieving the loss of their mother and an elderly woman who is showing signs of dementia following the death of her grandson.
Report Illness Immediately
During a disaster, it can be difficult to admit you're feeling unwell due to your desire to get home quickly and your desire to avoid causing trouble for those you're working with during difficult times. His future younger brother, Yuki, is also such an overly considerate boy, and even after he fell ill, he continued to worry about his sister, Mari, and even the robot. However, if you become ill, especially if you hit your head hard, it is important to report it immediately and head to the hospital. In the event of a disaster, many people will flock to hospitals, but depending on the severity of their injury or illness, they may be given priority treatment. By the time Yuki arrives at the hospital, it is already too late, and his condition meets a tragic end.
Summary
Watching Magnitude 8.0 teaches you the horror of being victimized and the wisdom to survive. This might be an anime worth watching just in case.
