Reflecting on the Disasters of 2024 [Environmental Measures VOL.12]

Looking back on the many memorable disasters that occurred in 2024, let's reconsider disaster prevention measures.

The year 2024 began with the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1st, and it became a year marked by numerous memorable disasters, including heavy rains and heatstroke incidents due to record-breaking heat, particularly in Kyushu and the Tohoku region. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to all those affected, as well as to their families and related parties. I also extend my deep respect to everyone who is working hard to assist the victims and support the recovery of disaster-stricken areas. I pray for the safety of the people in the affected regions and for a swift recovery. Over the past year, we have been distributing information related to labor safety and environmental safety in the form of white papers. This time, as a summary, I would like to reflect on the disasters of 2024 and reconsider the disaster measures we can take now.

We will explain the importance of soil contamination measures and appropriate countermeasures in two parts.

Modern companies are increasingly required to fulfill stricter regulations and social responsibilities from the perspective of environmental protection. Among these, "soil contamination measures" are particularly noteworthy. Soil contamination is often caused by corporate activities and not only leads to health hazards and environmental destruction but also poses a significant risk to the company's credibility. This document will explain the importance of soil contamination measures and appropriate responses in two parts. In Part 1, we will provide basic knowledge about soil contamination and details of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. By responding swiftly to soil contamination issues, it is possible to mitigate environmental risks and achieve sustainable management. We sincerely hope that you will contribute to environmental protection while fulfilling your social responsibilities as a company.

[Part 2 of the two-part structure] We will introduce actual cases of soil contamination and effective soil contamination countermeasures that we can tackle immediately.

In "Soil Contamination Measures Part 1," we provided basic knowledge about soil contamination and details of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. In the second part of this white paper, "Soil Contamination Measures Part 2," we will introduce actual cases of health damage caused by soil contamination and effective soil contamination measures that we can take action on immediately. Soil contamination is recognized as part of environmental issues, but its impacts are diverse and can pose significant risks to people's health. Based on past cases, we will examine what kinds of health damage have occurred and what measures have been effective, while exploring specific guidelines for action to reduce the risks we face.

I will answer the question, "How should companies prepare for flood damage prevention?" Now, before the rainy season begins, let's prepare for typhoons and heavy rains.

Flood damage poses a significant risk to businesses. In recent years, the damage caused by floods and heavy rains has increased, greatly impacting corporate performance and sustainability. For example, the damage from the heavy rains in western Japan in July 2018 and Typhoon No. 19 in October 2019 is still fresh in our memories, and it is important to learn from these cases. Every time we see news about corporate facilities such as offices, warehouses, factories, and stores suffering from flooding, many stakeholders may worry, "Is our company going to be okay?" Measures against flooding have become extremely important for business continuity. To address the question of "How should companies implement flood prevention measures?", we will introduce the basics of flood prevention in two parts. Now, before the rainy season begins, let’s prepare for typhoons and heavy rains.

We will outline a path for companies to become resilient to flooding and provide specific methods to minimize risks.

The rainy season has fully set in, but are you adequately prepared for flood damage? In "Flood Damage Countermeasures During the Rainy Season Part 2," we outline the path for companies to become resilient against floods and provide specific methods to minimize risks. In Part 1, we explained the recent occurrences of flooding, the use of hazard maps for flood prediction, and securing evacuation routes. In Part 2, we will focus on the types and quantities of supplies needed during a disaster, how to develop a Business Continuity Plan (BCP), and advanced initiatives. We hope that by sharing know-how for immediate and appropriate responses during disasters, we can contribute to the safety of your company.

"Civil Engineering Watching - Infrastructure Encyclopedia: Collection of Civil Engineering Structures" is a portal site for images and information about civil engineering structures that form social infrastructure facilities. We have recently published photos and articles about the "Saale Valley Bridge." The "Saale Valley Bridge" was constructed at the border between Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, in Bad Kösen, Naumburg. Boasting an impressive height of up to 60 meters, this structure spans a total length of 1.2 kilometers and a width of 12.5 meters, harmoniously blending with the surrounding landscape designated as a nature reserve. In addition to the "Saale Valley Bridge," various civil engineering projects, photos, and articles related to civil engineering are also featured, so we hope you will take a look.

Many customers wish to obtain technical standards conformity certification (Giteki) and construction design certification to use imported Wi-Fi products domestically. However, since radio laws differ from country to country, it is important to note that adjustments to transmission power may be necessary to comply with Japan's radio law. Among these, we will introduce products that require special attention, specifically those compatible with IEEE802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6).

We have introduced the Majesta Fragrance commercial diffuser to a fitness gym located in the city. Gyms and sports clubs tend to trap sweat and humidity, making them spaces where odor issues can easily arise.

We will be exhibiting at the 133rd Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of Japan. In addition to introducing services such as sediment surveys and chemical analysis of samples, we will also showcase products like core samplers. Please feel free to ask the booth staff about new graduate recruitment and experienced hires for the 2028 fiscal year. We look forward to seeing you all. Date: September 13 (Sunday) to September 15 (Tuesday), 2026 Location: Kanazawa University, South Area of Kakuma Campus (1st floor of the Natural Science Lecture Building, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture)
