However, in the event of a disaster, the feature can gain extra functionality, as the communities you are part of can become important sources of information and staying in touch. LINE’s OpenChat is a way for people to come together, share information and get to know each other any time, even when there is nothing serious happening. To ensure their information is accurate and correct, users in Japan can add the LINE Smart Notification Official Account to receive live updates after an earthquake (available only in Japanese). The days and weeks after a disaster are notorious for creating confusion and misinformation, making access to up-to-date, legitimate information so vital. And LINE’s Note feature can help, letting you store valuable information like emergency contacts, a to-do list, and evacuation sites in a place you can access fast and easily.

While current science and technology only enables us to “guesstimate” earthquakes, being prepared is always prudent. Life would be less stressful if we knew exactly when disaster might strike.
