This week there was an earthquake with a seismic intensity of less than 6 in northern Osaka. I think that many people are still feeling uneasy inside and outside the disaster area.

It is safe to have a disaster prevention backpack that you can take out at home in case you need to evacuate. However, it is difficult to find something that you are satisfied with, such as the ones you already have or the high prices.

Then let's make it from scratch! So, this time, I tried to create a disaster prevention backpack by utilizing 100 averages of the editorial department purveyor, referring to the SNS of the victims and past interviews. It's not too late now, so please use it as a reference for review and preparation.

Hundred yen store goods you want to put in

□ Sterilization wet sheet, body wipe □ Flashlight (LED light)
□ Raincoat □ Towel □ Toothbrush, mouthwash □ Paper plate, cup, cutlery, wrap □ Zipper bag, plastic bag (trash bag)
□ Simple toilet □ Vinyl sheet

Bactericidal sheets and wipes are essential items in environments where water cannot be used freely and the bath cannot be used. A person who has actually been affected by the disaster also said, "When the body is refreshed, the hygiene and feelings are completely different."


An essential light for traveling at night. You can get enough light even at 100-yen.


Mouthwash is also useful in water-saving situations. The foldable silicone cup (left image) is also useful outdoors and when traveling.



Wraps can be laid on tableware or used as bandages when water is not available. You can protect yourself from the cold just by wrapping it.



The zipper bag can be used not only for sorting luggage, but also as a waterproof bag for smartphones and electronic devices, and as a bucket for storing water. It is also useful for carrying an appropriate amount of wipes and body wipes. It would be nice to have a plastic bag to put garbage and filth in.




If the sewer pipe is damaged, the toilet cannot be used. There are different types of toilets, such as men's and unisex, so check.

Other things you want to put

□ Portable charger □ Drinking water and simple food □ First aid kits, medicines you always take, diapers, glasses □ Cold protection goods such as Cairo and cooling sheets □ Change of clothes □ Masks, work gloves (you can buy even 100)

This time, we picked up a backpack of a general size, so please choose according to the physical strength of the person who owns it and the size of the bag. Also, try to avoid situations such as "the luggage is too heavy to move" or "the furniture has fallen and you cannot put out your backpack".


Of course, what you need depends on your home, so the list is for reference only. It would be great if 100-yen, which is now familiar like a convenience store, could be an opportunity to think about disaster prevention again, not just because it is cheap for 100 yen.

* All products introduced as 100-yen goods are 100 yen (excluding tax). Inventory varies by store
