People cannot live apart from water.
However, even a slight increase in the volume of water can easily destroy people’s lives. For this reason, flood control works such as “seawalls” are indispensable. But even if you build miles of solid walls on the soft, moving earth, there will always be a failure somewhere.
It is difficult to prevent everything from happening by itself. This is why we need supplementary items to protect people. This is where tsunami evacuation towers and shelters come in.
The technologies introduced here are based on our experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
The technologies introduced here have been carefully selected by those of us who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake and felt that they were truly effective.
