Koshin Co. to Exhibit at 2025 Regional Disaster Prevention Expo

Koshin Co. at the 2025 Regional Disaster Prevention Expo

Koshin Co., headquartered in Nagaokakyo, Kyoto, is set to participate in the "2025 Local Government & Public Week - Regional Disaster Prevention Expo," taking place from July 2nd to 4th at Tokyo Big Sight. Given the increasing frequency of natural disasters in Japan, there is a heightened emphasis on the importance of rapid initial response during emergencies. The announcement of the "Nankai Trough Earthquake Emergency Information" by the government in 2024 further amplified awareness of disaster preparedness. This has significantly boosted the demand for vital infrastructure equipment, such as emergency power supplies and drainage pumps. Ensuring reliable disaster prevention equipment is crucial for scenarios including power outages, flood management, and maintaining continuity in evacuation centers.

The exhibition will showcase various products necessary for disaster response and recovery, allowing attendees to understand their practical applications on-site.

Scheduled Exhibits

- Portable Power Supply: A stylish design for everyday use, easily transportable to provide power during outages.
- Generator: Serves as an emergency power source adaptable to various environments, including outdoor settings and evacuation centers.
- High-Pressure Washer: Essential for removing mud and dirt during disaster recovery, with both gas-powered and rechargeable models on display.
- Engine & Submersible Pumps: Indispensable for responding to flooding and drainage issues.

These products have a proven track record in real disaster and recovery settings, receiving high marks for their functionality and reliability.

Increasing Demand for Generators

The emergency information announced in August 2024 regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake has heightened disaster awareness nationwide, resulting in a sharp increase in demand for portable power supplies and inverter generators. Depending on the conditions in affected areas, power restoration may take one to two weeks, making preparation crucial for maintaining essential infrastructure. Notably popular among beginners is the cassette gas-powered inverter generator, which is easier to store fuel for and simpler to operate. Because many are already accustomed to this fuel type through its use in portable stoves, using it during a disaster becomes intuitive. Furthermore, generators not only serve during emergencies but are also useful for leisure activities such as camping, aligning with the perspective of “everyday disaster preparedness.”

Engine-Powered High-Pressure Washers in Disaster Recovery

In circumstances where homes are flooded due to typhoons, high-pressure washers are needed to clean away hardened mud. Gas-powered high-pressure washers can be used even without electricity, making them vital tools for recovery sites. Following the heavy rains in September 2024, Koshin responded to requests from local disaster volunteers and provided several units.

A Wide Range of Disaster Response Equipment from Koshin

The equipment needed in the event of a disaster varies over time. For instance, outages require generators or portable power supplies, while water restrictions may necessitate pumps to draw from rivers, and cleanup of mud in homes demands high-pressure washers. It’s crucial to be equipped according to the disaster type and elapsed time. Koshin’s strength lies in its extensive lineup that addresses needs from disaster response to recovery.
