During this 'Disaster Prevention Online Study Session,' the company spoke to the mayors and officials of 35 participating municipalities from across the country about early recovery schemes, ranging from emergency measures such as placing blue tarps on damaged houses to full-scale repairs, and the utility of disaster prevention agreements through public-private partnerships. ■ Participant Survey Below are the responses from the participating municipalities who cooperated with the survey (Number of respondents: 8): 1.

With the vision of 'contributing to the development of society, including consumers, by providing opportunities for improvement to craftsmen who work hard every day in the specialized architectural field,' the company interviews and photographs high-quality contractors in all 47 prefectures, broadcasting the craftsmen's thoughts, construction examples, and reviews. The platform eliminates the traditional multi-layered subcontracting structure, providing a system where homeowners can directly request services at a fair price with peace of mind. Only high-quality contractors are registered, based on criteria such as: 1) the ability to perform work in-house rather than subcontracting, and 2) having employed craftsmen with at least 7 years of practical experience. Consequently, end-user satisfaction has reached 95%. In June 2022, the company concluded an agreement with the Japan Disaster Housing Resilience Association 'aimed at the early relief of victims in the event of a natural disaster.' Furthermore, similar to the purpose of this study session, agreements 'regarding support for emergency recovery activities such as housing exteriors during disasters' were signed with Moriyama City, Shiga Prefecture in June 2025; Funahashi Village, Toyama Prefecture in February 2026; and Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture in March 2026. Additionally, in March 2026, a comprehensive partnership agreement was concluded with Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Co., Ltd. 'for the purpose of rapidly responding to the diverse needs of local communities and promoting the creation of safe, secure, and sustainable communities.' Based on these cooperation and promotion structures, the company contributes to the development of the construction industry and society by engaging in rapid recovery support during natural disasters. ■ Ieiroha Company Overview Company Name: Ieiroha Co., Ltd.
