[Agreement Reached] Koshigaya City and Genkimura Welfare Corporation Sign Agreement on Opening of Welfare Shelters During Disasters.

Social Welfare Corporation Genkimura, a group corporation of the Genkimura Group (Headquarters: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, Representative: Yusuke Kannari), signed the "Agreement on the Opening of Welfare Shelters During Disasters" with Koshigaya City on March 24, 2026 (Tuesday). In recent years, preparedness for large-scale disasters, including direct-impact earthquakes in the Tokyo metropolitan area, has become a critical issue for local communities. The establishment and securing of "welfare shelters" to accommodate individuals who have difficulty living in general evacuation centers, such as the elderly and people with disabilities, is considered an important initiative to support the region's disaster preparedness system. This agreement was concluded to meet such regional needs.
