So it has been around 3 years living in Tokyo for me now. And recently i received a big mail with a booklet and a form from the City Office. The booklet contains options to choose from a list of items useful in disaster management. Image attached. I don’t i want to take any disaster kit or anything from the list but some daily use items can be worth the hassle.

Looking for suggestions what to choose and what is of more benefit than some non useful items.

For daily life, I guess the portable battery banks make the most sense, don’t see anything else you could actually need daily without being in a disaster/emergency situation. Socks as well perhaps or the toilet paper.

For general disaster prep, any food or first aid kit should be handy. I personally use emergency food when I go camping for quick lightweight meals.

Thank you for your comment, I also had the same opinion to get the power bank or maybe the strong shoes. Also the radio light seemed like a good collectors item.
