Japan Home Shield Co., Ltd. has announced a collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's 'Liquefaction Countermeasures Tokyo Consortium' website. By linking their 'Ground Support Map'—which holds data from over 2.5 million ground surveys—residents can now visualize liquefaction risks and geological characteristics simply by entering an address. This initiative stems from the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, highlighting the urgent need for earthquake resilience in small-scale buildings. The company will also host a webinar on April 24, 2026, to discuss ground risk management and the 2025 revised design guidelines for small buildings.
