**Japan Earthquake: country better prepared than anyone for quakes and tsunamis**
That is the link to the first page we used, in which we found this information:
 * Schools in Japan frequently run drills to let children know what to do in an earthquake wherever they are in the school
 * Tables and desks are specially designed so that children can get under them quickly and remain safer than anywhere else
 * Any schools with two or more floors have evacuation chutes, so in case something goes wrong the children can slide out to safety
 * The fire department regularly takes in children and puts them into an earthquake simulation room, so that they know what being in an earthquake is like
 * If an earthquake does strike, the children are instructed to stay in the school until they are rescued, just in case their families are dead and they can't find anybody
 * One of the first places rescue teams look for survivors are the schools, as they know children are most likely alive in there
 * All offices and houses (not including apartments) have an earthquake survival kit, which consists of rations, water, and simple first aid

As a result of all their training, videos showed grown men and women panicking as the earthquake destroyed everything, and the children calmly slipping under their desks and patiently waiting out the disaster.
