Disaster preparedness ranked No. 11 in the popular themes rankings. As a country frequently affected by earthquakes, torrential rain and floods, Japan is required to strengthen its disaster-prevention and disaster-mitigation efforts.
The Disaster Management Agency was established on the 2nd, with a dedicated minister appointed and authority granted to issue recommendations to other ministries and agencies. The address delivered by Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae (高市早苗) at the inauguration ceremony outlined a policy of turning the disaster-preparedness industry into a driver of growth.
Companies cited as related to disaster preparedness include ショーボンドホールディングス, 応用地質, ライト工業, 不動テトラ, 技研ホールディングス, 飛島ホールディングス and 前田工繊. The packaging of disaster-preparedness technologies spanning surveys, construction, countermeasures and monitoring is expected to advance.
