Additionally, unlike previous comprehensive agreements with one company or one organization, this agreement will be concluded jointly by three companies, so we will leverage each company’s characteristics and economies of scale to provide support based on clear roles. We will implement this.
In recent years, there have been concerns that water disasters will become more severe and more frequent due to the effects of global warming, as well as the occurrence of huge earthquakes, and the three companies are playing a central role in securing human resources, interacting with them, and developing technology. By passing this on, we will establish a system for sustainable disaster recovery support for Takamatsu City’s sewage facilities, etc., and build a system for swift and smooth disaster response, from damage to recovery, even in the event of a large-scale disaster.
