SAKIGAKE Japan emerges as global leader in disaster preparedness
How SAKIGAKE JAPAN Was Seen Through International Media
The article highlights the disaster preparedness expertise and technologies we have cultivated in Japan and how we are now expanding these efforts across Asia. Some of the key points featured include:
- Aster Power Coating: Seismic reinforcement materials adopted for school construction in the Philippines and public facilities in Indonesia
- MOBILE COLD STORAGE BOX: Portable refrigeration systems that safeguard vaccines and medical supplies during power outages, as well as mobile heliport solutions that enable emergency landings
- Disaster Management Specialist: A system to train and certify leaders capable of taking command during disasters
- International Collaboration: Drought response initiatives with West Bengal State (India), seismic assessments in Thailand, and knowledge-sharing at the World Bosai Forum
Being described in the article as a “department store of disaster countermeasures” left a strong impression on us. Disaster preparedness cannot be achieved through a single product or technology—it requires a combination of education, governance, and equipment. That international media recognized this comprehensive approach gives us great encouragement.
Bringing “Everyday Disaster Preparedness” to the World
At SAKIGAKE JAPAN, our mission is to make disaster preparedness a natural part of daily life, not something extraordinary.
For example, the Cold Storage Box can support community healthcare in normal times, while serving as a life-saving tool during emergencies. Similarly, certified Disaster Countermeasure Specialists may function as safety managers in their organizations during ordinary times, and immediately step up as leaders during crises.
This approach—“using while preparing”—is what we aim to share globally.
The ANI feature serves as a meaningful recognition of this vision. Rather than simply exporting Japanese technologies, we are committed to localizing solutions to fit each country’s culture and systems, ensuring that disaster preparedness truly takes root in society.
Closing Thoughts
This coverage is a valuable opportunity for international readers to learn about our activities. At the same time, we hope it reminds people in Japan that disaster preparedness is a global necessity, not only a domestic issue.
With climate change increasing the frequency and severity of natural disasters worldwide, it is now more important than ever to apply Japanese expertise and innovation to global challenges.
At SAKIGAKE JAPAN, we will continue to work toward creating systems that make preparedness an everyday practice, both in Japan and around the world.
