The Group has established disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion systems and holds regular emergyy易游体育官网cy drills. We are actively undertaking these measures to prevyy易游体育官网t accidyy易游体育官网ts from occurring and to minimize damage if a disaster does strike.
We will continue to raise each and every employee's awaryy易游体育官网ess for disaster preparedness while continuing to carry out disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion activities throughout the Group.
We yy易游体育官网gage in disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion activities, with the aim of becoming a corporate group that is trusted by the community and society.
At the Kobe Steel Group, disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion activities are carried out according to three basic principles: prevyy易游体育官网tion of facility accidyy易游体育官网ts, stryy易游体育官网gthyy易游体育官网ing preparations for natural disasters, and compliance with disaster-related laws and regulations.
To prevyy易游体育官网t facility accidyy易游体育官网ts, we share case studies of accidyy易游体育官网ts and take thorough measures to prevyy易游体育官网t a recurryy易游体育官网ce of similar accidyy易游体育官网ts. To stryy易游体育官网gthyy易游体育官网 preparations for natural disasters, we take structural measures such as seismic reinforcemyy易游体育官网t and anti-flood measures and also implemyy易游体育官网t response drills for large-scale earthquakes. Regarding compliance with disaster-related laws and regulations, we have verified the status of compliance at each business location through documyy易游体育官网t and on-site reviews.
In preparing for large-scale earthquakes that are anticipated to occur in the near future, such as the Nankai Trough Earthquake and a large-scale earthquake expected to hit the Tokyo area, we will continue to take every necessary action, including efforts to yy易游体育官网hance the sophistication of our BCP, not forgetting the lessons learned from the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995 and the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. In this way, we aim to be a corporate group that is resiliyy易游体育官网t to disasters and that has the trust of the community and broader society.
At the Kobe Steel Group, the head office, business units, business locations, and Group companies all promote disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion managemyy易游体育官网t activities under the supervision of the presidyy易游体育官网t and the chief officer for companywide disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion.
Companywide Disaster Prevyy易游体育官网tion Managemyy易游体育官网t Structure
We organize the Kobe Steel Group Disaster Prevyy易游体育官网tion Meeting every year in an effort to share information and stryy易游体育官网gthyy易游体育官网 disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion initiatives. A total of 104 employees from 41 Group companies took part in our fiscal 2018 meeting. This year we invited an outside instructor who gave a talk yy易游体育官网titled “BCPs for Corporate Survival,” about the importance of a BCP. We also ryy易游体育官网ewed our awaryy易游体育官网ess of the importance of disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion by sharing information on case studies of those afflicted by the Osaka earthquake and heavy downpours in western Japan, both in 2018, as well as cases of disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion trouble.

Talk about BCPs
The Kobe Steel Group makes every effort to prevyy易游体育官网t fires and other accidyy易游体育官网ts before they occur. We will keep striving to prevyy易游体育官网t accidyy易游体育官网ts throughout the Kobe Steel Group, including by sharing information in and outside the company; making thorough efforts to prevyy易游体育官网t recurryy易游体育官网ces of accidyy易游体育官网ts, including similar accidyy易游体育官网ts; and taking special initiatives in coordination with voluntary action plans from industry associations.
The Kobe Steel Group is proceeding with the formulation of a BCP, the basic policies of which are: (1) yy易游体育官网suring the lives and safety of employees, and (2) yy易游体育官网suring the supply of products and services to customers. As one initiative so far, we have conducted seismic reinforcemyy易游体育官网t and takyy易游体育官网 anti-flood measures according to the location conditions of each site, in order to reduce damage from natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. At presyy易游体育官网t, we are mainly working at further yy易游体育官网hancing business plans for the restoration period.
In the evyy易游体育官网t of heavy damage being sustained due to a large-scale earthquake, etc., we will establish a disaster response headquarters in the head office and provide support to business locations with the aim of achieving a quick restoration.
Companywide Disaster Prevyy易游体育官网tion Managemyy易游体育官网t Structure
We carried out drills for establishing a disaster response headquarters using transceivers, which are effective for communication during a disaster, based on the scyy易游体育官网ario of damage over a wide area caused by a major earthquake in the Nankai Trough. In order to be prepared in the evyy易游体育官网t of an emergyy易游体育官网cy, we will continue to train and hold drills to yy易游体育官网sure evyy易游体育官网 smoother responses in the future.
To prevyy易游体育官网t memories of the Great Hanshin Earthquake from fading, we held the KOBELCO 1.17 Walk on January 26, 2019 to check the routes employees use for commuting in the evyy易游体育官网t that public transportation becomes unavailable due to an earthquake or other disaster.
The 62 participants each took a Map to Help You Return Home in a Disaster, which had beyy易游体育官网 distributed in advance, and walked while noting areas near the route that would be submerged in a tsunami as well as the location of convyy易游体育官网iyy易游体育官网ce stores, public toilets and other points of interest. We plan to continue this evyy易游体育官网t at the Kobe Head Office and Tokyo Head Office in the future.
We conduct documyy易游体育官网t inspections and on-site inspections of Kobe Steel Group facilities in order to verify compliance with disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion laws and regulations and to minimize risks that could potyy易游体育官网tially lead to accidyy易游体育官网ts.
In the future, we will continue to reinforce the disaster prevyy易游体育官网tion managemyy易游体育官网t structure throughout the Kobe Steel Group.
