Lightweight, quick, easy, and convenient flood prevention product compared to sandbags: Folding flood barrier F-shield.

Mr. Yamamoto is responsible for the overall safety management operations of the company at the Safety and Environment Department of Special Spring Industry Co., Ltd. "There are first-class rivers, the Inagawa River and the Darokugawa River, flowing near our factory, and there is a risk of these rivers flooding when typhoons or linear precipitation zones occur. In fact, a major typhoon passed through Hyogo Prefecture in 2018, and at that time, the situation was very close to a river flood. Therefore, it was necessary to present a sufficient BCP (Business Continuity Plan) to our customer, the automobile manufacturer, in preparation for potential river flooding." "The foldable water stop board F-shield is lighter than sandbags, making it easy to transport and set up. Unlike sandbags, there is no need for the cumbersome task of filling or emptying water; it can be easily set up and taken down by simply locking the fittings." A new disaster prevention warehouse has been established right next to the factory's main gate, where the foldable water stop board F-shield is stored, ensuring that it can be set up immediately in case of an emergency. "I would like to win the trust of our customer, the automobile manufacturer, by presenting a sufficient BCP (Business Continuity Plan) in preparation for river flooding."

Mr. Kamiyama is involved in the management of two companies: Miyauchi Construction Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the construction industry, and Koshiki Fruit Garden Co., Ltd., which is involved in the production, processing, sales, and café operation of passion fruit. "The area around our company is at a low elevation, and due to the phenomenon known as 'abiki,' the road can become flooded as the sea level rises and falls repeatedly in a short time. Three years ago, for the first time, we piled sandbags in front of the fruit processing factory, but it was a very challenging task. The occurrence happened around 8 PM, and I had been drinking, so I couldn't drive the truck. Therefore, I asked a colleague to transport the sandbags stored in the fire department's warehouse by car. 'Abiki' can cause the water level to rise in about 30 minutes. I felt that there wouldn't be enough time to go and get the sandbags and stack them." "The foldable water barrier F-shield takes up little space when stored folded and can be set up quickly. It is lightweight, making it easy for elderly women working at our processing factory to handle, and it looks better than sandbags, so we can safely place it in visible areas. I want to be well-prepared for sudden 'abiki' with the foldable water barrier F-shield."

**Expert in Power Distribution Board Manufacturing: Takahashi Electric Co., Ltd.** Mr. Watanabe works in the General Affairs Department of Takahashi Electric Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the manufacturing of power distribution boards that are indispensable in modern social infrastructure. **Risk of Rainwater Intrusion into the Factory! Safety Measures and Risk Management at the Sheet Metal Factory** "At the entrance of our sheet metal factory, a small forest is encroaching, and during typhoons or heavy rain, there is a risk that rainwater will flow from the forest into the factory entrance. Since there are expensive equipment such as laser processing machines inside the factory, it was necessary to implement risk management to prevent rainwater from entering the factory entrance. We considered stockpiling sandbags, but they are heavy and deteriorate quickly, causing the contents to spill out. Therefore, we concluded that sandbags were insufficient as a safety measure for the factory." **Preparing for Flood Damage to the Factory with the Folding Water Stop Board F-shield** "The folding water stop board F-shield is easy to handle because it is foldable, allowing for timely storage and movement. Additionally, its bright yellow color enhances visibility, which is also appealing. I like that it is more durable compared to sandbags, making it user-friendly."

● What is a hydrogen leak detector? It can measure leaks in small areas that could not be detected in air leak tests and can also identify the leak locations. It is a detector that uses a mixture of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen (non-flammable gas: ISO10156:2017) as the tracer gas. ● What is a helium leak test system? It is a leak test system suitable for high-precision or high-pressure leak inspections. The helium leak test system uses helium gas as the detection gas (tracer gas) and detects the helium that has leaked out. It is the leak test method among Fukuda's leak testers that can detect the smallest leaks.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
