Offering our building as a shelter for neighboring residents in case of a tsunami. The Okayama Works is surrounded by vast rural areas which are 0.1 meters or less above sea level, and it is within the area that is expected to be flooded if tsunami hits.

The three-story building of Okayama Works is made of reinforced concrete, and we offer our building as a temporary shelter for residents in the surrounding area in case of emergency.

Children and teachers from nearby daycare centers periodically visit us for disaster drills and check the location of evacuation sites on our premises.
