This is a first aid kit inspired by the experi-ences of victims from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. We
have collected all the items and information you need for survival.This project began with the collaboration between
OSIGNER, a design firm, and Kohshin Shoji Corporation, a company based in Miyagi prefecture of the Tohoku region.
Just 40 hours after the disaster, NOSIGNER hosted a wiki project, “OLIVE”, to collect survival knowledge for recovery.
Kohshin Shoji Corporation had also been creating a first aid kit that includes everything you need during a disaster. The
two companies bonded over their activities for the Tohoku region, triggering the start of this book, “THE SECOND AID”.
■To get prepared for the next disaster, this book will provide you with all the knowledge you need to survive, with
step-by-step procedures, life-saving tips, and simple DIY ideas.We hope this book will be of help when you most need
it. For your life, your happiness, and your future.
■An abridged version of the “OLIVE
BOOK” is included as an A4 size notebook
in “THE SECOND AID,” making the set a
box ofitems and information that would be
helpful in case of an emergency.
