  In this paper, we proposed the Survival Language, a pattern language to
support survival when a catastrophic earthquake occurs. This proposal comes
from the problem that the tragedies of earthquakes are repeated, because
knowledge and wisdom on how to prepare for an earthquake and what to do during
an earthquake have not been passed down sufficiently. This paper presented the
four patterns of the Survival Language: "Daily Use of Reserves," "Life over
Furniture," "Evacuation Initiator," and "Kick Signal." In addition, we
described that the Survival Language is created and used by collaborations
because a pattern language has been a tool for collaboration since it was
presented by Christopher Alexander.
