On Saturday afternoon, Aya went to the public hall to help the neighborhood association.
、。
That day was a day to check the disaster-prevention supplies used in emergencies.
、、、、。
In the storeroom there were water, blankets, simple foods, lights, batteries, and other things stored away.
、、。
In the neighborhood association, they have decided to check the expiration dates and quantities twice a year.
、。
While looking at the chart she received at the reception desk, Aya checked the boxes for each shelf in order.
、。
On the farthest shelf, helmets that had been bought new last year were lined up.
、、。
However, when they opened the box of batteries next to it, there were fewer left than they had expected.
「」。
Mika said, “Maybe a lot of them were used in the last drill.”
、。
So the two of them wrote the missing quantity into the blank space on the chart.
、、。
Next, when they checked the best-before dates on the water one bottle at a time, there were many that were only good until next month.
、、。
Mr. Sato, the person in charge, explained that items close to their expiration date should be used first and new ones should be replenished afterward.
、。
However, there were also items whose number written on the outside of the box did not match the contents.
、。
It seems that someone used them before and forgot to correct the record afterward.
、、。
So that what she found could be reported right away, Aya put sticky notes on each place.
、。
Mika stood at the storeroom entrance and read out the names of the boxes that had been carried out, one by one.
、。
Thanks to that, they did not end up checking the same box twice.
、。
In the middle of the work, it was decided that they would also check the generator borrowed from the nearby elementary school.
、。
Because the generator was heavy, the three of them slowly put it onto a cart and took it outside.
、。
When they read the instruction manual, the date of the previous inspection was still left as last autumn.
「、」。
Mr. Sato said, “It is not enough just that it can be used; we should also leave a record of when it was checked.”
、、。
Hearing those words, Aya felt that being prepared is not only a matter of gathering things.
、。
So that things can be used right away when needed, information is important to about the same degree as well.
、、。
After the work ended, the two made a new chart and made it so that the next person to look would not get confused.
、。
When they looked around the storeroom one more time before going home, it was arranged much more clearly than before.
、、。
Aya thought that even work that does not stand out has the important role of supporting the community’s peace of mind.
