Transforming Disaster Prevention: Toyokumo Disaster Prevention Day 2026

On January 28, 2026, Toyokumo Inc., a leader in cloud services based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, will host an online conference titled "Toyokumo Disaster Prevention Day 2026". This event is aimed at business executives and professionals responsible for disaster prevention and Business Continuity Planning (BCP).

The theme of the conference, "Reframing Disaster Prevention from Cost to Future Investment," addresses the increasing risks associated with disasters. It brings together experts from academia, risk management, and disaster response to provide insights on immediate actions businesses should take to better equip themselves against future challenges.

Context for the Event

With 31 years having passed since the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and 15 since the Great East Japan Earthquake, the lessons learned from these events still resonate strongly in today's context. Furthermore, recent challenges highlighted by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake have complicated the landscape for businesses, shifting risks from physical damage to interruptions in supply chains and data.

Despite this, a persistent view remains within many businesses that equates disaster prevention with mere costs. As a result, implementing measures often gets postponed, while training programs stagnate.

In response, Toyokumo emphasizes the necessity of redefining disaster prevention as an investment—one that directly correlates with operational efficiency and enhances corporate value. This conference aims to facilitate a transformative mindset and share practical knowledge—giving businesses actionable strategies they can implement immediately.

Highlights of the Event

1. Understanding 'Phase-Free' Approaches

The conference will introduce the concept of 'Phase-Free' disaster prevention, which integrates normal operations with emergency responses. Participants will learn how to assimilate disaster preparedness into daily business practices.

2. Logical Persuasion for Executives

Attendees will discover financial benefits tied to disaster prevention investments, such as tax savings and subsidies, by leveraging Japan's national recognition system known as the "Business Continuity Capability Enhancement Plan (Jigyokei)."

3. Real-World Training Methods

Expert speakers, including former rescue team leaders and disaster psychology specialists, will share effective training techniques that encourage employee engagement and proactive responses.

4. Knowledge from Major Corporations

Leaders from large companies who dealt with the Noto Peninsula Earthquake will recount the real challenges they faced and disclose the decisions that led to a comprehensive reevaluation of their BCP frameworks.
