Abstract
The Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Saturday evening.
The damage on the Tonga, which is about 60 kilometers south from the volcano, remains unknown due to the volcanic ash cloud and the unavailable internet.
The eruption affected not only nearby islands, but also affected each area on the Pacific coast. A sonic boom could be heard as far away as Alaska.


Do you have an emergency kit in your home? If so, what does it include?

I haven't prepared an emergency kit so far, but I have thought it is better to prepare them.
Because I feel that the frequency of earthquakes and other natural disasters has been increasing year by year. In addition, Japan has huge risks of disaster, not only volcanoes but also typhoons, earthquakes and so on.
However, even if I prepare the emergency kit for disasters, it might be meaningless if I don’t stay home when the disaster occurs. It is one reason that I still haven't prepared for them.
