Major Earthquake
In Japan, September 1st marks the anniversary of Great Kanto Earthquake, which devastated the city of Tokyo in 1923. Recently, after a strong earthquake that struck Miyazaki prefecture early August, Japan issued its first ever warning of the risk of a massive earthquake along the Nankai Trough (an ocean-floor trench that runs along the Pacific coast of Japan). Experts say that there is nearly an 80% chance of a major disaster occurring within the next thirty years, because it’s been so long since the last major earthquake. According to their estimates, the worst-case scenario looks like this: a powerful earthquake of magnitude 9 could destroy millions of buildings, cause widespread flooding, and result in hundreds of thousands of casualties. It is too scary to take seriously. So, what should we do? Of course, all we can do is to prepare for evacuation and to stock up extra food and water. No one knows when and where an earthquake or tsunami will occur. What would happen if we happened to be on the subway or in a car at that time? Can fear keep us from riding these in everyday life? We can only hope to survive.
9月1日は1923年に東京を壊滅させた関東大震災の記念日です。最近、8月初旬に宮崎県を襲った強い地震の後、日本は南海トラフ（日本の太平洋沿岸に沿って走る海底の溝）沿いの巨大地震の危険性について初めて警告を発しました。専門家は、前回の大地震から長い時間が経っているため、今後30年以内に大災害が発生する可能性は80％近くあると述べています。彼らの推定によると、最悪のシナリオは次のようになります。マグニチュード9の強力な地震により、何百万もの建物が破壊され、広範囲に洪水が発生し、数十万人の死傷者が出る可能性があります。真剣に受け止めるには怖すぎます。では、私たちは何をすべきでしょうか。もちろん、避難の準備をし、余分な食料と水を備蓄することしかできません。地震や津波がいつどこで発生するかは誰にもわかりません。そのときたまたま地下鉄や車の中にいたらどうなるでしょうか。恐怖心から日常生活でこれらに乗るのを止められるでしょうか? 私たちにできるのは生き残ることを願うことだけです。

'Can' isn't necessarily incorrect but if you're asking whether people would be right or wrong in avoiding the subway or cars, you could maybe say 'Should fear keep us from using these in everyday life?'.

It is too scary to not take seriously.
If you are trying to say that it is VERY scary and we absolutely need to take it seriously, then you need the "not" to correctly express the meaning.

Of course, all we can do is to prepare for evacuation and to stock up extra food and water.

Can fear keep us from ridusing these modes of transportation in everyday life?
we ride the subway, but we don't ride a car. So you can't use riding to describe using both these types of transportation.
We can only hope to survive.

Good job and interesting topics. Just a few minor errors, but otherwise very clear.
