Disaster PreventionEnhancing disaster preparedness
Regional Evacuation Site Functions as a wide-area evacuation site
As a designated wide-area evacuation site, we have prepared the open spaces so they can be used as disaster preparedness centers in times of disaster
Wide-area evacuation sites are local government-designated parks and areas where people can be safely protected from spreading fires in the event of an earthquake disaster.
Increasing the ratio of open space
Anticipated uses of open spaces in times of disaster

The spaces can be used for evacuation drills and local disaster preparation events
Measures for Stranded Commuters Measures at each facility for people who are unable to return home
Approximately 10,000m2 of new space will be secured for temporary shelters
Disaster preparedness stores will be established containing items such as emergency food and water
We plan to install emergency generators within facilities 
The plan will enable approximately 7,000 people to shelter within the Gaien area for 72 hours following a disaster
It is thought relief efforts in the first three days following a disaster have the biggest impact on survival rates and this is known as the “72-hour wall.” Businesses operating in the Tokyo Metropolitan area are obligated to try and stockpile supplies that will last three days after a disaster occurs so that the national and local governments can focus on rescue efforts.
