Tokyo: Japan carried out disaster preparedness drills on 1 September; dealing with mock earthquakes and other threats just days after its emergency warning system was used for real during North Korea\'s launch of a ballistic missile over the country.
\r\nTokyo\'s Metropolitan Police Department practiced closing roads designated as special emergency vehicle corridors. The department\'s traffic regulation division said the drill was the biggest yet of its kind, and included part of a highway for the first time. |
