 What to do in the event of an earthquake.

 I try to remember, but actually I can't remember much.

 Or rather, the premise is different.

 In my previous life, I lived in the most earthquake-prone place in the world, and the long history of earthquakes has gradually created countermeasures.

 And the main countermeasure against earthquakes and other disasters is to prepare for the damage that may occur in advance.

 At the level of ordinary people, this would be like stocking up on water and food and keeping a backpack filled with countermeasures for earthquakes at home.

 The government, on the other hand, is supposed to make preparations according to the expected disasters.

 However, no one here in Fontana has such preparations.

 So, we should not give up this time because we are not prepared for such a disaster.

 It is better for me to recover as soon as possible and minimize the damage than to do nothing at this point.

 If we leave the situation as it is and many people die, the power of Fontana will be reduced by that amount.

 When I thought about this, I realized that there was only so much I could do.

 Anyway, the most important thing is speed.

 Even if it is not perfect, we must take some measures to reduce the damage as much as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 That is all we can do.

 Then, what is the rescue that is necessary now?

 There was a big earthquake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 And as far as I could see from the terrace of the castle, I saw many buildings collapsed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 This means that the houses for the inhabitants collapsed.

 Come to think of it, in my previous life, when there was an earthquake, there was a kind of damage derived from the collapse of buildings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 For example, fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 If a collapsed building catches fire, the fire can spread from there and burn down even the safe houses in the neighborhood.

 But, fortunately for us, this is not so common in this area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Since all the buildings are made of bricks or other materials, wood is not used and it is difficult for the fire to spread.

 Furthermore, the only time they use fire is when they cook a meal, because they use the magic lighting to light the house.

 This is a little out of the time frame when the earthquake occurred.

 The other problem that occurs when there is an earthquake is a tsunami, but that is not a problem in this area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The other problems are liquefaction and avalanche, but so far the reports I have heard from various places indicate that they are not so serious.

 The biggest problem is the loss of housing due to collapsed buildings and the resulting inability to shelter from the cold in winter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 In other words, the most important priority is to build a temporary shelter to gather those who lost their houses and keep them warm.

 And it would be better to restore the collapsed houses while securing the shelter.

 There may be other people in need, but we will consider that later.

"Mister Picha, I want the knights to set up shelters in their territories, protect the residents, and restore the collapsed buildings. Can you do that?"

"......Many knights who have territories will not like it. It costs money and time. More importantly, how long and how long you have to keep doing it is a question. In the first place, I think this is encouraged by the awareness of the need to help those who can't take care of themselves.

Well, to put it simply, yes. I understand that many people are in trouble because they were born as farmers, but that doesn't mean that we can save them all.

"...... Hmmm, I see. Well, here's what I'll do. Let's promise tax breaks for the next few years for the knight-errantry that works to rescue the victims of the disaster. And the cost of the rescue will be shared equally by the knighthoods and Balka.

It can't be helped. However, we will keep you informed of damage reports and the progress of rescue operations.

 Discussions with Picha and the other assembled knights.

 At first, the top knights of the knighthood were not very enthusiastic about the rescue, but their attitude started to change when I started talking about tax reduction.

 Perhaps many of them were concerned that the tax reform that I had made immediately after becoming the acting head of the Fontana family would continue in the future.

 Perhaps they would rather help the residents and assure them a tax cut for a few years than to see their taxes continue to rise.

 After much discussion with the knights, a certain policy was decided.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 We will send people to each city, town and village and designate evacuation centers to accommodate the victims.

 And collect food and firewood there.

 If we endure for a while, the cold weather will be over.

 Then, we decided to work together to fix the collapsed buildings, even if we have to use evacuees.

 This is because we checked the situation in the city of Fontana and found that many of the brick houses were not totally collapsed but only half or less collapsed.

 If only the remaining bricks are used to fill the holes, the houses can be livable as long as they are sheltered from the wind and rain and snow.

 It is better to work together to fix more broken houses than to fix your own family alone.

 It was also agreed that the houses of those who cooperated with each other would be restored together so that only the houses of the rich would be repaired first and the rest would not be left unattended.

 Thus, in the Fontana territory, rescue operations were carried out immediately after the earthquake.
