A Kindai University student, Tsuyoshi Kitahara, has developed a gamified evacuation drill simulating a nighttime earthquake and tsunami. The first trial took place in Shimizu district, Kainan, Wakayama Prefecture, involving residents practicing escape with a simulated disabled person. Participants highlighted the need for better preparedness amid a potential 48-minute tsunami arrival.
