Tasukeai Japan's disaster relief toilet network, 'Toilets to Make Everyone Feel Better,' has expanded to 48 municipalities. The organization has launched a crowdfunding campaign to prepare for future large-scale disasters like the Nankai Trough earthquake, following lessons from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. The network now includes 215 toilet units capable of serving 10,750 people daily.

A month has already passed in 2026. This means the probability of the next disaster has slightly increased. The Nankai Trough earthquake is predicted to cause 300 times the damage of the Noto Peninsula earthquake. A quake directly hitting Tokyo, the world's most advanced city, is also a threat. Tasukeai Japan is preparing to provide effective life-saving support not just for these events, but for any disaster in the disaster-prone nation of Japan.
