In light of the anticipated occurrence of large-scale earthquakes such as the Nankai Trough and a direct earthquake beneath the capital, it has become a crucial issue for office building and facility managers to determine "how to assess and act immediately after a disaster" in order to resume business operations. After an earthquake occurs, on-site assessments will confirm the safety of buildings through a damage assessment system, guiding initial response actions. Meanwhile, the headquarters must understand the damage status of multiple buildings as well as the surrounding disaster conditions, prioritizing responses and providing support accordingly. In this webinar, we will introduce how to acquire and integrate information from both the "inside" and "outside" of buildings, and how to connect this to decision-making and execution after a disaster, with specific outputs, presented by two companies: Hakusan Kogyo, a professional in seismic disaster prevention, and JX Communications.

The occurrence of large-scale earthquakes, including the Nankai Trough earthquake, poses a significant risk to business continuity for the manufacturing industry. For companies with many locations and factories, the damage can be extensive, leading to production halts and severe disruptions in the supply chain. However, the reality faced by disaster prevention personnel at factories and manufacturers is the harsh condition of "limited budgets and personnel." It is not easy to implement sufficient measures at all factories. In this webinar, starting from the damage estimates of the Nankai Trough earthquake, we will thoroughly explain the key points of prioritized preemptive measures and post-disaster responses under limited conditions, presented by Hakusan Engineering, a professional in seismic disaster prevention. Additionally, we will introduce specific solutions to expedite initial responses immediately after an earthquake occurs, minimizing damage. We will address the questions that trouble disaster prevention personnel at factories and manufacturers, such as "Where should we start?" and "How can we achieve maximum effectiveness with minimal costs?" and provide hints that can be implemented from tomorrow. This content is a must-see for executives, facility managers, and disaster prevention personnel who want to achieve earthquake-resistant facility operations.
