### About the 12th Japan Resilience Awards
The Japan Resilience Awards (Grand Prize for Resilience) evaluate and commend advanced companies and organizations working to build a strong nation, region, people, and industry for the next generation. Organized by the Association for Resilience Japan, the awards aim to consolidate wisdom from industry, academia, government, and the private sector to achieve the 'National Resilience Basic Plan' and create a 'strong and flexible country' based on pre-disaster prevention and mitigation.
### What is MIRARESI?
'MIRARESI' is a next-generation resilience system developed to maintain the quality of life for residents during disasters. It utilizes renewable energy generated by solar panels installed on the condominium and supplies power to water pumps via emergency power sources using storage batteries. This ensures the availability of water and electricity, which are major concerns during disasters. Additionally, 'MIRARESI Mission Cards' to support initial response and disaster prevention goods are provided to each household, aiming to improve residents' disaster literacy.
### Evaluation Points
In urban areas, a shortage of evacuation centers is predicted, necessitating the promotion of 'at-home evacuation.' MIRARESI realizes 'water pump operation' and 'power supply to private areas' during power outages through the coordination of solar power and storage batteries. Furthermore, soft initiatives such as distributing disaster prevention goods and sending 'Disaster Gifts' for 10 years after purchase were highly evaluated for continuously improving residents' disaster literacy.
### Ceremony Overview and Minister's Comment
Minister for National Resilience Takao Makino commented: 'As natural disasters become more severe and the risk of large-scale earthquakes is imminent, it is necessary to promote national resilience measures in cooperation between the public and private sectors. We are preparing to establish a Disaster Management Agency this year as a command center for disaster response. I have high expectations that these awards will promote private sector initiatives for national resilience.' Takara Leben was specifically mentioned as a developer of systems that enable at-home evacuation, which is critical in urban settings.
