Unexpected Evacuation Drills
"Unexpected evacuation drills" are online evacuation drills that use LINE features. By registering to participate in advance on the LINE official account of the relevant local government, people receive notifications that drills are beginning randomly during the period of the drills. Through performing actions according to the LINE messages that come when they receive the notifications, people are able to learn appropriate evacuation measures for when a disaster occurs.
