On January 23, a disaster readiness drill led by a committee consisting of businesses in the Ikebukuro Station vicinity was conducted to deal with stranded people in the terminal in the event of an earthquake. The drill was performed under the assumption that buildings around the station were greatly damaged and a large number of people were injured. Exercises including the opening up of roads, carrying out and transporting injured people, triage, and evacuation guidance were conducted in drizzling rain with 4,500 participants.
