The company, under the guiding philosophy of 'Making Trailer Houses a Culture,' actively promotes awareness and appreciation of trailer houses, encouraging their integration into community resilience strategies.
Following this agreement, Trailer House Development Company will enhance its efforts to stock trailer houses as part of nationwide disaster preparedness initiatives. By working hand-in-hand with Tomigusuku City, the company aims to bolster the local disaster recovery environment and ensure that citizens have access to essential resources during emergencies.
About Trailer Houses
Trailer houses are defined as 'structures utilizing vehicles,' categorized as towable vehicles rather than traditional buildings. This classification allows them to be utilized in zones where conventional construction is restricted, proving to be a valuable solution. Moreover, after a defined period of use, these units can be relocated, affirming their sustainable appeal. Trailer House Development Company produces all trailer houses at its factory in Tochigi Prefecture, ensuring a wide range of applications throughout Japan.
This collaboration signifies a critical step towards enhancing disaster responsiveness and securing a safer future for communities in perilous situations. Trailer houses will undoubtedly become an integral part of disaster management and recovery, promoting not only safety but also community solidarity in adversity.
