Social Welfare Corporation Genkimura, a member of the Genkimura Group (Headquarters: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture; Representative: Yusuke Kannari), signed an "Agreement on the Establishment of Welfare Evacuation Shelters in Times of Disaster" with Konosu City on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.
In recent years, preparation for large-scale disasters, such as a direct-hit earthquake in the Tokyo metropolitan area, has become a critical issue for local communities. The development and securing of "welfare evacuation shelters"—which accept individuals who have difficulty living in general evacuation centers, such as the elderly and people with disabilities—is considered a vital initiative to support regional disaster prevention systems. This agreement was concluded to meet these local needs.
