Keikyu Development and Tokyo Fire Department Sign Disaster Preparedness Agreement

In a significant move towards enhancing community safety, Keikyu Development Co., Ltd. has recently signed a crucial agreement with the Tokyo Fire Department's Second Fire Section Headquarters and the Omori Fire Station. This alliance focuses on the usage of facilities during large-scale disasters. The agreement ensures that, in the event of a major disaster or an impending threat, Keikyu Development will provide part of the new Boat Race Heiwajima Stand I facility for use as accommodations for the Tokyo Fire Department personnel.

As the threat of large-scale disasters, such as a direct earthquake striking the metropolis, continues to grow, robust preparations have become increasingly vital. Firefighters, who form the frontline of disaster response, face the challenge of maintaining a consistent operational structure over prolonged periods. A pressing issue has been the lack of accommodation space at the current fire station when all staff members are called to duty, which highlights the necessity for improved facilities to support sustained disaster response efforts.

This newly established agreement will allow the Tokyo Fire Department to utilize the Boat Race Heiwajima Stand I as a base for accommodations and rest during emergencies, therefore improving local disaster response capabilities. By ensuring that firefighters have access to sleeping quarters and recovery spaces, the agreement aims to foster swift and ongoing disaster response efforts.

Keikyu Development remains committed to deepening collaboration with the local community while working towards creating a safe and secure urban environment. The company strives to contribute to regional disaster preparedness and safety alongside the full cooperation of the Keikyu Group.
