The disaster-response laundry is equipped with LP gas cylinders that can store 3 days’ worth of LP gas and equipment that can be connected to a portable generator as “standard specifications”. Portable generators are designed to generate electricity using gas, and can be used to charge mobile phones. In addition, we will install gas stoves and gas rice cookers in our stores, making it possible to provide meals for disaster victims. Due to the recent social situation, it is necessary to disperse evacuation to avoid the three Cs, and coin laundry can be used as a “temporary shelter”. In addition, 105 of the 222 stores, including the one that opened this time, are functioning as disaster-response laundromats.

During the 2019 Boso Peninsula Typhoon (Typhoon No. 15), a large-scale blackout occurred in Chiba Prefecture.
Two stores in the prefecture, the Blue Sky Laundry Cainz Ichihara store (Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture) and the Blue Sky Laundry Beisia Oamishirasato store (Oamishirasato City, Chiba Prefecture), escaped the power outage, but the power outage lasted longer and many people came from far away. residents came to wash clothes. This incident led to repeated discussions within the company about whether a laundromat could be useful in times of disaster, and led to the idea of a disaster-response store.
