白山 donated 45 uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units to Kanazawa City. During disasters, they will be used as emergency power sources, including for charging smartphones, and are scheduled to be installed at community centres that serve as evacuation shelters.
白山 (Kanazawa City) donated 45 uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units manufactured by the company to Kanazawa City on the 18th. In normal use, the units are connected to computers and other equipment to supply power for a certain period during an outage and help prevent data corruption. During disasters, they can also be used to charge smartphones and other devices.
The company has previously donated approximately 500 units to municipalities affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake and others. Kanazawa City Mayor Murayama Takashi (村山卓) said that securing communications is important in Kanazawa City, which receives many tourists from overseas.
