I went to Tokyo…again. I had to go somewhere…

That’s true. I think risks won’t come out, too. However it might happen someday so we need to prepare.

Thank you! I wish I could share the livestream or the podcast for global listeners someday!

Wow, thank you for sharing! It’s so interesting.

Since October, I’ve been sharing disaster preparedness tips on a community radio station in Nagasaki. I’m providing residents with practical tips grounded in expert knowledge. I’m working together with them to create a program that delivers disaster information closely for the local community.

A major autumn festival is taking place in Nagasaki from Oct. 7th to 9th. It’s a traditional event since the Edo period.

Umbrella floats with beautiful decorations

One of the decorations of the umbrella float. It’s modeled after a crane and a pine tree.

Another umbrella float. There are various designs for each participating town.

I decided to step down from a project. Although it offered experiences, burdens kept growing, and I struggled. Once I decided to quit, I felt a genuine sense of relief and was able to put more energy and enthusiasm into my real work.

Some even mentioned that, after the seminar, they purchased the very same items online that were used during the session!

Tasting, experiencing, listening, and talking…all of these activities are parts of disaster prevention. I spoke at a disaster preparedness seminar for women in a Japanese local community. Many participants responded positively to the topic of disaster preparedness.

I conducted a business continuity tabletop exercise for a long-term care provider in Nagasaki Pref., Japan. This training was organized by an organization for Japanese care providers, and staff members actively exchanged views on how to respond to a disaster.

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026

Oh you’re right! I think that’s the most famous exhibition held there.

I had a great dinner with my family and guests from Canada. It’s a wonderful experience to share the time with them!

The best night with my friends since we’re in the university. Best friends!! I’m so happy to meet them! 🥰

I’m in Tokyo to participate the largest expo about risk and security in Japan.

Oh, that’s nice! I’ll try to take a screenshot for that.

I went to my grandpa’s today. He’s in a care facility and his memory isn’t what it used be, but he still remembered me. When I told him about my job, his eyes lit up. I’m just glad to see him doing well.

I recommend check this portal provided by Ministry of Land, infrastructure, transport and tourism in Japan. Nationwide information services are suitable for international tourists to some extent. The most important thing is getting accurate information. www.mlit.go.jp/river/bousai...

I hope so…😭 Sometimes, I take screenshots like this instead stop the alarm…and wake up…

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 29/09/2026

Why do I take a screenshot of the alarm screen when I’m half asleep…?😂

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 29/09/2026

Thank you for asking! Actually I can answer that yes and no. There’re many services by governments, companies , and locals for travelers to aware disaster risk in advance and it’s more advanced in metropolitan areas. However, in rural areas, that’s not as well developed as they in urban areas.

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 28/09/2026

Thank you, and absolutely! Ask me anything.

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 28/09/2026

I’ll talk about the disaster prevention in daily life. It’s one of my professional themes!

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 28/09/2026

I went the town when I lived as a kid. I’ll speak on a local radio show next month! It’s one of the best things I can contribute to the place and people that connected with me within my profession.

Today’s lunch! It’s chicken cutlets at the local eatery.

Thank you for your heartwarming comment! It’s really inspiring.

This type of weather can cause flooding and transportation disruptions; therefore, I believe it is important for residents and anyone planning to visit Japan to be aware of this information. With this in mind, I published the aforementioned article on my official website.

Nagasaki is experiencing torrential rain today. It's heavy enough to pose a risk of disaster. This rainfall is driven not only by a weather front but also by a phenomenon known as a linear rainband, a weather pattern that has only recently been observed. www.sunny-rm.biz/en/post/line...

Rather than loudly proclaiming a grand future while treating the present with indifference, I quietly and steadily build upon the small things everyday.

The long holiday is over, and I feel ready to give it my all again starting tomorrow! 🔋

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 22/09/2026

I don’t know why but I always catch a cold during long holidays. But in a way, that might actually be a good thing. Since my brain isn't functioning properly, I'm forced to rest. Haha…

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 21/09/2026

Time is limited, so getting cold myself is something I find unacceptable. I suppose the silver lining is that today is a holiday.

I had planned to publish a report on the heavy rains in Japan on my website today, but before I knew it, it was already 10:00 PM. Although it was Sunday, I spent the entire day writing other articles. 😢

I attended a seminar about national security by Nagasaki University and Seoul National University. It’s truly a privilege to be able to learn from an academic perspectives. This is one of the few opportunities in Nagasaki for citizens.

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 18/09/2026

Interest in disaster preparedness is growing, even in areas with less experience of disasters. I gave a seminar at the Nagasaki City Gender Equality Promotion Center, where I presented examples of disaster readiness for women and frameworks for decision-making during disasters.

Tasty lunch at the local restaurant 🍜 I like to visit restaurants loved by residents.

Today I studied a great deal, something I hadn't done in a long time. I feel like I’ve caught a glimpse of the kind of person I want to become. Someone who acts like a bridge between the academic world and the general public.

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 16/09/2026

That’s wonderful! What is required varies depending on the place and the era, and in that respect, I feel you are a pioneer.

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 16/09/2026

Thank you! For your reference, I've attached the slides I used in a recent seminar (though please note that they were hastily prepared and just translated). The Phase-Free movement is gaining traction in Japan, and I advocate for viewing daily food from the perspective of disaster preparedness.

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 15/09/2026

I started my own business because the kind of work I wanted to do didn't exist where I wanted to work; however, I do take on other types of work from time to time. Doing so makes me keenly realize just how well-suited the business I built is for me.

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 15/09/2026

I lectured in regions that are relatively low risk of disasters. While I focus on individual preparedness, I believe the specific preparations needed for a disaster also vary slightly from person to person, as in daily life. Therefore, I offer a framework to help the right approach for themselves.

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 14/09/2026

They’re definitely within my field of work! I mainly deal with risks that I can study and analyze through academic research and evidence, including their likelihood and potential impacts. So, thankfully, I’m not primarily in the “end of the world” business. 😌

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 14/09/2026

Last weekend, I held two disaster preparedness seminars and received a variety of questions from the participants. These questions serve not as inquiries to be answered; they also reveal to me the differences in perspective between those on the inside and those on the outside of crisis management.

Great view and local food 🍽️

I bought some goods for my disaster relief kit as a demonstration. Each item costs only 100 yen (half a euro).

Hinata Tanaka @sunnyrm.wsocial.eu · 11/09/2026

Reflecting on that again after 25 years, I think about the threat of terrorism and the hope for a world with less conflict. Yet things rarely unfold so simply, and ensuring safety amid these realities is the goal of risk management.
