Lemon Gas Hosts a Groundbreaking Disaster Preparedness Event in Yokohama

Lemon Gas Co., Ltd. held a significant disaster preparedness event titled 'Connecting the Disaster Preparedness Circle with Lemon Gas' at the Tressa Yokohama shopping complex in Yokohama's Kohoku Ward over the weekend of January 24-25, 2026. This pioneering initiative was a joint effort of four Lemon Gas branches in the Yokohama area—Yokohama Midori, Kawasaki North, Fujisawa, and Atsugi. The event attracted approximately 900 local residents, showcasing Lemon Gas's commitment to raising disaster awareness in the community.

The recent surge in extreme weather events and earthquakes has shifted our perception of disasters from a distant concern to a pressing reality. Therefore, maintaining a proactive disaster preparedness mindset has never been more crucial. Lemon Gas, which specializes in LP gas—a resilient decentralized energy source—aims to foster both individual and community resilience, encouraging residents to think of disaster preparedness as a routine part of life. The large-scale event saw diverse programs and activities crafted to engage the public.

A Comprehensive Overview of the Event

The two-day event aimed to provide practical insights into disaster preparedness, focusing on LP gas and its use in emergency situations. Numerous interactive displays and workshops allowed attendees to familiarize themselves with various disaster response measures. Here are highlights from the event:

Exhibition of Disaster Preparedness Equipment and Solutions

Lemon Gas presented an array of disaster preparedness tools, emphasizing the advantages of LP gas as a quick-restoration and independent energy source during emergencies. Attendees had the chance to see firsthand several types of equipment and systems:

• - LP Gas Generators for Disaster Response: These generators utilize LP gas, providing clean energy critical during emergencies. They can support a wide range of services, from homes to businesses, with long-running capabilities of up to 100 hours using a 50kg gas container. Additionally, LP gas's superior storage properties eliminate concerns over fuel degradation, ensuring reliability when it matters most.
• - Aqua Clara Water Delivery for Emergency Supplies: The Aqua Clara water service was showcased as a solution for emergency water supply. Event-goers witnessed a demonstration of how the Aqua Clara system connects to a 'Emergency Water Tap' during power outages, ensuring safe access to drinking water. Notably, in April 2025, an agreement was established between Aqua Clara and the Yokohama city government for mutual support in providing emergency drinking water, further enhancing community disaster preparedness efforts.
• - Portable Power Sources: Portable generators that are easy to transport, allowing for charging crucial devices and supporting modern communication needs during crises, were also part of the exhibition.

Engagement with the Community through Interactive Activities

The event featured a variety of interactive sessions designed to familiarize locals with disaster preparedness tools:

• - Newspaper Slipper Workshop: Participants learned how to create slippers from newspapers to protect their feet from glass and debris during emergencies, culminating in a foot massage mat activity that demonstrated their protective benefits.
• - Character Engagement for Increased Affinity: The appearance of Lemon Gas's mascot, Lemon-kun, drew a specific audience among families with young children, offering photo opportunities and coloring activities. This engagement helped strengthen community ties and foster a sense of trust between Lemon Gas and local families.
• - Raffle Drawings: The event also included a lottery where visitors could win prizes like the free installation of smoke detectors, giving them an added incentive to reconsider their disaster preparedness needs.

Future Endeavors and Commitment to Community

Lemon Gas views this event as a vital benchmark in its mission to support community well-being through specialized LP gas services. The collaboration among the four Yokohama branches mirrored Lemon Gas's commitment to enhancing local disaster preparedness awareness. As a company, Lemon Gas aspires to go beyond merely supplying energy and aims to create a culture of safety and collaboration in disaster resilience. This event signifies one of the key milestones in extending the circle of disaster preparedness through proactive engagement with the community.
