Delivery of LP gas & gasoline generator to the Hope Village, a support facility for people with disabilities.

Experienced prolonged power outages due to the heavy rain in western Japan. Introduced emergency power supplies to ensure that residents can live with peace of mind.

The heavy rain in western Japan that occurred from June 28 to July 8, 2018 (Heisei 30). The impact was significant in Tokushima Prefecture, where there were damages such as the isolation of communities due to landslides and many households experiencing power outages. When the power goes out, various devices become unusable, making it impossible to maintain the usual way of life. This is particularly burdensome for individuals with disabilities, who may suffer injuries or panic, leading to both physical and mental strain. As a result, the need for BCP (Business Continuity Planning) measures in welfare facilities has been increasing in recent years. Today, we have the facility director of "Kibou no Sato," a support facility for people with disabilities located in Tokushima Prefecture, which was affected by the heavy rain in western Japan. With a capacity of 115 residents, and over 200 people when including day visitors and staff, we interviewed about the importance of electricity felt during the power outage at the welfare facility, as well as the background and thoughts behind the introduction of the emergency power generator "Elsona." *For more details about this interview, please refer to the related links.
