We promoted seismic reinforcement for gymnasiums and school buildings constructed before the new seismic standards (before 1980).

We have a disaster prevention stockpiling to store disaster prevention equipment and food. There are two types of disaster prevention storages that remodel empty classrooms in schools and those that newly establish prefabricated warehouses in school grounds.

In order to secure drinking water, we promoted the maintenance of underground water tanks for disasters and emergency hydrants, and the use of water receiving tanks. In addition, we are promoting the use of fire hydrants and installing earthquake-resistant hydrants.
