## Growing Disaster Awareness and the 'Lack of Storage Space'
In recent years, the importance of disaster stockpiling has gained renewed attention as a preparation for the Nankai Trough earthquake. On the other hand, more people are voicing concerns like 'I want to stockpile, but I don't have space at home,' making storage security a new challenge.
Especially in apartments and rental housing, it is difficult to secure sufficient storage space, leading to a high demand for distributed storage of disaster supplies.
In addition to traditional 'luggage storage,' the trunk rooms operated by our company propose utilization as 'storage bases for disaster preparation,' such as:
- Disaster stockpiling (drinking water, preserved food, portable toilets)
- Storage of seasonal items (blankets, heaters)
- Backup sets to carry out during evacuation
By stockpiling in a location separate from home, risk distribution becomes possible even in the event of a disaster.
## What is Lost in a Disaster
In a disaster, life is the first thing to be protected. That is undoubtedly true.
However, on the other hand, many people later say:
'All the photos are gone.'
'My children's albums disappeared.'
'Treasured items and letters won't come back.'
When life is turned upside down by a disaster, it is often surprisingly familiar 'items of memory' that support people's hearts.
A single photo, a letter from someone—these things remind us in the midst of anxiety and loss that 'precious daily life certainly existed.'
Memories become an emotional anchor. That is why they are worth protecting.
## Preparing for Emergencies, Stockpiling Memories
'Off-site stockpiling' using trunk rooms is currently attracting attention.
In addition to disaster goods such as water, preserved food, portable toilets, and aluminum sheets, important memories can also be stored in a distributed manner. There is a sense of security in the distance—far enough for safety, yet close enough to visit anytime normally.
S-trunk operates over 45 locations in Matsuyama City.
Monthly fees start from the 3,000 yen range, with 24-hour access available.
The number of people sharing a single trunk room is also increasing.
Moving just a few things in preparation for 'what if.'
Just by doing that, the sense of security changes significantly.
