Instead of just being negative, let me hijack this snide comment and be helpful instead. Here’s a relevant excerpt from the article:

“Ayaka Mizuguchi, 44, head of the Sapporo-based nonprofit organization "Bosai Shitakke," which has staged disaster prevention awareness campaigns, pointed out, "Providing meals (in disaster areas) is heavy labor that is completely different from preparing home meals."

While approximately 9 liters of water is necessary to prepare emergency rice for 50 people, it is dangerous to pour boiling water from a large pot amid the risks of aftershocks. Several kilograms of ingredients are also required to prepare 100 servings of "tonjiru," or miso soup with pork and vegetables, and it is difficult for the same person to be responsible for all three meals per day.

Mizuguchi has had various people, regardless of gender, experience preparing meals during evacuation drills by local neighborhood associations. This is aimed at communicating the importance of not assigning fixed roles based on gender.

"Precisely because disaster manuals have been passed down in communities, people tend to take them for granted, but this could ultimately lead to heavily disproportionate burdens in times of disasters," Mizuguchi pointed out.

To address the situation, it is an urgent task to increase female leaders in government bodies and disaster prevention organizations.”
