Enhancing Disaster Awareness with VR Fire Escape Experience

Sanwa Trading Co., Ltd., located in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, is set to participate in the upcoming "22nd Office Disaster Expo" as part of the "Tokyo General Affairs, HR, and Accounting Week Spring" event, held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 25 to June 27, 2025. The company, led by President Masaki Kobayashi, will showcase an innovative VR experience aimed at enhancing disaster awareness among employees.

Showcasing the VR Fire Escape Experience

At this year’s expo, Sanwa Trading will unveil the "VR Fire Escape Experience," a cutting-edge feature designed to engage participants in a realistic fire emergency scenario. This experience allows users to virtually practice escaping from a fire situation, heightening their awareness and preparedness for real-life emergencies. By turning routine training into an interactive experience, Sanwa Trading aims to foster a more profound understanding of disaster planning and safety measures.

The Office Disaster Expo targets professionals from various sectors, including corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities, providing them with a platform for information exchange, consultations, and business negotiations to address their disaster preparedness challenges.

Meeting Challenges in Disaster Preparedness

Sanwa Trading is committed to addressing the specific concerns of safety administrators in businesses. Many companies face issues such as the monotony of annual evacuation drills, a lack of engagement from employees, and the management of emergency supplies. By introducing XR (cross-reality) solutions like the VR Fire Escape Experience, Sanwa intends to revitalize the training processes. This newly designed content promises to offer fresh perspectives on disaster preparedness through simulated scenarios, including earthquakes and fires.

“Many organizations struggle with keeping disaster drills engaging,” said a spokesperson for Sanwa Trading. “Our VR solution provides an immersive experience that not only captivates participants but also instills a lasting sense of emergency awareness.”

In addition to the VR experience, the company will also address logistical challenges faced by disaster preparedness coordinators. Concerns regarding the management of supply expiration dates and the storage of equipment will be discussed at Sanwa’s booth, offering practical solutions tailored to the needs of various organizations.

Promoting Self-Help for Remote Employees

Furthermore, Sanwa Trading will promote a campaign titled "Recommendations for Home Evacuation" aimed at remote workers. This initiative is designed to empower employees working from home with the knowledge and resources necessary for effective self-help during emergencies.

With a commitment to increasing disaster awareness and knowledge, Sanwa Trading seeks to contribute to a safer working environment where each individual feels secure and prepared.
