CLAS's Participation in SHIBUYA Disaster Action 2026

On August 30, 2026, Hirotake Kubo, the CEO of CLAS, along with his beloved Shiba Inu, Hamusuke, will actively participate in the event titled 'SHIBUYA Disaster Action 2026'. This event takes place in front of the iconic Hachiko statue at Shibuya Station and is part of a weeklong campaign focusing on disaster preparedness and community bonding.

The Significance of the Event

The 'SHIBUYA Disaster Action 2026' is organized by the Shibuya Fire Station and the Shibuya Fire Prevention and Disaster Association. The event aims to enhance disaster awareness by utilizing the famous Hachiko statue as a meeting point. Residents and attendees are encouraged to think about who they would meet and where during a disaster, promoting strategies for individuals who may have difficulty returning home and fostering community networks.

Hirotake Kubo, who is also an animal lover, is actively involved in raising disaster awareness for pets through a local organization known as 'protect.animals119'. This participation reflects his dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of pets during emergencies, which led to CLAS joining as a cooperating partner for this event.

CLAS, with the vision of enabling people to live freely and lightly, supports this initiative that ties important life connections—whether with family, pets, or friends—to actions that ensure safety and preparedness. This aligns perfectly with CLAS's mission of enhancing community resilience against disasters.
