The problem of toilets in disaster-stricken areas is not only an inconvenience in terms of daily life, but it also has a significant impact on health, so we must learn from it as well.

I think the first thing we need to think about is personal preparation. For example, a compact portable toilet.

Since it is small, I think it is possible to keep a certain number of them. I think there are many people who know about it, but have never used it, so today I will demonstrate it.

First of all, there’s the “gray bag” inside. Place this over a container that looks like a toilet bowl. Add the coagulating and deodorizing agent directly here.

Since it is said that most people urinate between 250 and 300 mL, I added 300 mL of colored water. This means that it will harden after about 30 seconds.

Once it hardens, put it in another bag. It’s invisible, and since it’s a deodorizing bag, it also seals out odors.

The setup itself is very simple, but how long should I have it?

The Cabinet Office shows the changes in toilets over time. For the first three days after a disaster occurs, you will mainly be using these portable toilets and portable toilets.

This is because the sewerage system cannot be used until the inspection is completed. The amount of portable toilets needed is said to be enough for three days of evacuees. For a family of 4 people, 4 people x 3 days.

Later, when temporary toilets and manhole toilets became available at evacuation centers, people evacuated from home would also be able to use these toilets.

Therefore, the portable toilets and portable toilets that were used at the beginning become a supplementary role.

(Oishi Anchorman)
The “portable toilet” that I introduced earlier can be used for three small and one large use. Considering that you go to the bathroom about 5 or 6 times a day, it would be a good idea to have about 5 bags per person for 3 days.

I think it is important to prepare portable toilets like this in preparation for a Nankai Trough mega-earthquake.
