Contributing to Local Disaster Prevention
The recently established
Kita-ayase Umemoto Eye Clinic is making an impact in the Adachi Ward by boosting local disaster preparedness. Located on the fourth floor of
Lala Terrace Kita-ayase, this new eye care facility opened on September 1, aiming to not only provide medical services but also support community safety initiatives.
Advertisement Installation on Fire Hydrant Signs
On October 16, the
Fire Hydrant Sign Company, managed by Tsunasaku Mouri, announced the installation of
16 advertisement signs for the Kita-ayase Umemoto Eye Clinic on fire hydrant markers throughout the Adachi Ward. These strategically placed ads will improve the visibility and awareness of both the eye clinic and the importance of disaster preparedness in the community.
But what exactly are fire hydrant signs? These markers indicate the location of underground fire hydrants, crucial for ensuring a quick water supply during emergencies. With approximately 120,000 of these signs across Japan, they serve as a reminder of the vital role they play in fire safety.
However, despite their importance, a shocking
80% of available advertising spaces on these signs within Tokyo remain unused. In Adachi Ward, about
90% of the 691 fire hydrant signs are vacant. This alarming statistic demonstrates a critical need for investment and awareness in local fire safety measures.
The Importance of Fire Hydrant Signs in Emergency Situations
Fire hydrant signs help direct firefighters to crucial water sources and inform drivers of parking restrictions in those areas. As the possibility of a major earthquake looms, the need for effective fire hydrant management becomes even more pressing, especially in densely populated urban areas like Adachi.
Recognizing the urgency, Dr. Yusuke Umemoto, the director of the eye clinic and an established local physician, expressed his desire to contribute to the community's safety. His enthusiasm led to the placement of the 16 signs, which not only advertise the clinic but also promote a culture of vigilance and preparedness among residents.
Comprehensive Eye Care Services at Kita-ayase Umemoto Eye Clinic
The clinic stands out by offering a wide range of eye care services, from treating common conditions like conjunctivitis and allergies to specialized treatments for cataracts and glaucoma. Utilizing the latest technology, they provide
day surgery for cataracts and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS), focusing on high-quality medical care. Their mission extends to serving individuals of all ages, striving to be a trusted partner in lifelong eye health.
Reservation and Accessibility
To accommodate patients, the clinic offers a user-friendly web reservation system while also accepting walk-ins without appointments. This flexibility ensures that everyone in the community can access essential eye care services.
Voices from the Clinic
Dr. Umemoto remarks, “Through these advertisements on fire hydrant signs, I hope to contribute to public safety in the local community. Kita-ayase is evolving with the new Lala Terrace development, attracting more residents and visitors. I aspire for our clinic to be a beloved healthcare provider for all ages, while also promoting a sense of security and safety within the community.”
