The article “Disaster” that I posted in January of this year received a lot of responses from many people.
At the end of that article, I mentioned that I was planning to purchase a car that could be used as an evacuation shelter in the event of a disaster, and that plan has finally become a reality. The car I recently purchased is a Daihatsu Atrai. It's a 4WD Kei-Car, the same as the Mitsubishi Pajero Mini that I had been driving until now. There are various types of Kei-Cars in Japan, and since the Atrai is a van type, it is commonly known as the “Kei-Van”.
Although it is a small car, the rear seats can be folded down to become one with the cargo area, creating a large, fully flat floor that provides enough space for two adults to stretch out and sleep.
As I wrote in the previous article, Japan is a country that experiences many earthquakes, and it is certain that a “Nankai Trough earthquake” will occur sooner or later. Since such an earthquake would affect a very wide area of Japan, it is predicted that it will be difficult for the national and local governments to carry out rapid and sufficient relief efforts. Since public institutions cannot be trusted, each of us must make preparations as much as we can.

Course you can't rely on government, the only difference between brigands and governments of the modern world is that bandits are honest about stealing from you and not helping.
The Japanese government has always behaved since 1960 better than most others, but I understand why you'd want to be more self-sufficient. Kudos.
