Disaster Prevention Speaker
In order to further enhance the means of transmitting information in the event of a disaster, we will install "disaster prevention speakers" to broadcast emergency information of J Alerts at ward offices and evacuation shelter. A total of 190 locations were maintained between FY2019 and FY3. ※J Alert is a system that instantly transmits emergency information such as nation protection information, Earthquake Early Warning, and tsunami information from the country through satellites.
