TOKYO: The Japanese government is considering using post offices to stock up on emergency supplies, such as food, water and beddings, for delivery to evacuation areas in case disasters strike, according to local media.

Under the plan, local governments will use post offices as warehouses and store disaster relief supplies in empty spaces, and have their vehicles deliver these supplies to wherever they are needed, Kyodo News said in a report on Sunday, citing government sources.
