Shelter One Co., Ltd. will plan and operate the 'Kumamoto Earthquake 10th Anniversary Project TKB48 Shelter Drill' hosted by Kumamoto City from May 15 to 18, 2026. Following four previous demonstrations, this is the first practical drill hosted by a local government. The event aims to verify the 'TKB48' model, which deploys cross-regional support teams to set up shelters equipped with Toilets, Kitchens, and Beds within 48 hours of a disaster. Additionally, it features the first full-scale proof-of-concept for the S.O.M. (Shelter Operation Management) IT platform to centralize disaster response data.
