We are carrying out initiatives to create disaster-resistant towns and cities, such as disaster prevention awareness activities, in the Osaka-Umeda area where there is a concentration of offices and commercial facilities, etc.
Aiming for an Umeda where people protect one another
Sending out information on digital signage
The Hankyu Corporation, Hanshin Electric Railway Co., Ltd., West Japan Railway Company, Grand Front Osaka TMO and Osaka Metro Co., Ltd. comprise the Umeda Area Management Alliance, which is running the “Umeda Bo-sai Scrum” disaster prevention activity for visitors to the Umeda area.
This activity provides information on disaster prevention, including evacuation sites when a disaster occurs, and encourages people to think about disaster prevention on a daily basis by disseminating information through disaster prevention awareness posters, digital signage, websites, SNS, and other means.
In addition, the project aims to help people acquire the ability to help themselves, and to connect companies and facilities in the Umeda area to enhance the area’s disaster preparedness, by holding disaster prevention seminars for office workers and others in the area.
