Tamiya Home's Commitment to a Disaster-Resilient Community

On September 1, coinciding with Disaster Preparedness Day, Tamiya Home executed its cleaning activities as part of the "Tamiya Home Rescue Project" at various locations in and around Tokyo, particularly in Chiyoda Ward. This initiative saw employees tackling litter across more than ten sites across the Tokyo area and the neighboring prefectures of Kanagawa and Saitama.

The Rationale Behind Community Clean-Up Efforts

Tamiya Home, headquartered in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture, believes that its demolition work contributes to disaster risk reduction efforts. Two of the company’s employees, both former members of the Self-Defense Forces, brought valuable experience from their efforts in disaster relief. They have witnessed firsthand how debris-strewn streets and collapsed buildings can hinder rescue operations. Such experiences have reinforced their convictions about the necessity of demolition work in fostering safer communities.

The belief that making vacant land safe is crucial to disaster preparedness drives the passion of every employee at Tamiya Home. The cleaning efforts were designed not only to beautify the neighborhood but also to eliminate obstacles that could impede emergency vehicles and rescue operations during disasters. This is part of our broader mission to promote disaster-resilient urban planning.

The sentiments of our employees, especially those who have served in disaster zones, were shared in Tamiya Home's internal communication platform, "Tamiya Way," further spreading awareness of our commitment to disaster prevention.

Future Goals of the "Tamiya Home Rescue Project"

A significant concern is how dilapidated vacant houses can obstruct evacuation routes and delay rescue operations during disasters. Tamiya Home is firmly committed to alleviating these risks through its demolition work and ensuring the safety of local residents.

In addition to addressing community issues, we are dedicated to organizing regular cleaning events and are considering consultations about safety concerns within neighborhoods. The recent purchase of bright orange vests for all employees symbolizes our commitment to fostering a proactive approach towards helping those in need.

Remarks from President Akihiko Tamiya

The launch of the "Tamiya Home Rescue Project," including the recent clean-up initiative on Disaster Preparedness Day, reflects the passion exhibited by our employees who are dedicated to protecting our communities through our demolition work. Insights gained from our former Self-Defense personnel are integral to this project, which extends beyond mere beautification to showcase our community commitment to preparedness.

Our company’s values of "Sportsmanship" emphasize the importance of helping those in distress, and these new vests reinforce our belief that every Tamiya employee is capable of lending support to someone in need. Going forward, we aim to utilize our demolition operations to create safer living environments.
