Based on “Yamaguchi Prefecture Tsunami Inundation Damage Hazard Map,” KIHARA WORKS Co., Ltd. has formulated its “Business Continuity Strengthening Plan.” The plan assumes that an earthquake with an intensity of lower 6 on the Japanese scale or natural disaster occurred in Yamaguchi City, where our major business functions are located, and it aims at three points written below. The plan has been certified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
1) Protecting human life is a top priority
2) Aiming at early recovery to fulfill our supply responsibilities and protect our customers’ trust
3) Protecting the employment of our employees and supporting the vitality of the community

1) Natural disaster risk confirmation method by using hazard maps
