JA Amenity House Co., Ltd.

The design of the sticker uses a 'child's smile' as a motif, based on the experiences heard from victims of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake that 'the innocent smiles of children saved the atmosphere while adults' hearts were desolated.' It symbolizes the warmth of the company and its stance of standing together with the community.
[Background of Introduction]
In recent years, due to the frequent occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes and torrential rains, there has been an increase in cases where life-supporting infrastructure like water, electricity, and gas is cut off for prolonged periods.
Especially during disasters, issues such as:
- Inability to use toilets due to water outages
- Equipment damage caused by drainage troubles
- Tenant disputes over the burden of repair costs
have occurred, manifesting the response burden and risk for rental management companies.
During the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, the deterioration of the sanitary environment became a serious issue, and during the 2025 localized torrential rain in Kamakura City, management troubles arose originating from drainage issues during water outages.
Considering this situation, our company believed that accumulating practical preparedness within daily operations, rather than building new systems or special mechanisms, was the realistic response, thus starting this initiative. Furthermore, this initiative is an attempt to rethink management operations from the perspective of supporting the lives of tenants, in addition to facility management.
[Overview of the Everyday Disaster Prep Project]
This project consists of two stages: 'Mutual-help disaster prep' where the management company prepares for the community, and 'Self-help disaster prep'.
■ Mutual-help disaster prep (Community Contribution)
We have stockpiled 'Everyday Disaster Prep Sets (for mutual help)' in each office/store and approximately 160 sales vehicles, establishing a system capable of emergency response for tenants and nearby residents when a disaster occurs.
At the same time, we will display stickers indicating our disaster preparedness system, promoting the 'visualization' of preparedness in the community.
■ Self-help disaster prep (Tenant Education)
Through opportunities such as when signing lease contracts, we provide information about the original Disaster Prep BOX, encouraging tenants themselves to prepare. This aims to establish appropriate disaster prevention behaviors and reduce the risk of facility troubles and hygiene issues during disasters.
Moving forward, along with continuing the initiative, we will expand opportunities to inform tenants, aiming to establish disaster response smoothly and reasonably. Our company will continue to strive to provide management services that support the lives of tenants while accumulating practical initiatives that are an extension of our daily operations.
