Practical projects

Meetings of Kochi Prefecture Disaster Prevention Related Business Exchange
The Kochi Prefecture Disaster Prevention Related Business Exchange began to host meetings between disaster prevention related businesses in 2012. The purpose of the meetings is to publicize disaster prevention products and create more practical products that meet the demands of actual disaster situations. They promote the exchange of information among local municipalities and introduce members to each other. Products used at disaster prevention exercises held in Kochi Prefecture are highlighted and local companies are matched up with major buyers of disaster prevention goods. The Exchange further helps companies by certifying products to stimulate sales growth.
