Minebea Donates to the Fukuroi Hometown Disaster Prevention Donation Promotion Committee
Minebea, whose Hamamatsu Plant is in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, donated 1 million yen to the Fukuroi Hometown Disaster Prevention Donation Promotion Committee. Hirotaka Fujita, Director and Senior Managing Executive Officer of Minebea, presented Hideyuki Harada, Mayor of Fukuroi City, with a certificate at Fukuroi City Office. This donation will be repeated for five years until 2019.
Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, Fukuroi City, which has a coast of 5.3 kilometers, has aimed for zero fatalities from tsunami. Under its Fukuroi Earthquake and Tsunami Action Plan 2013, it is working on disaster prevention measures such as preparing seawalls. Because these measures require large outlays, the Fukuroi Hometown Disaster Prevention Donation Promotion Committee is actively calling on civil and regional offices for fundraising.
Minebea supports this mission and intends to continue to work with Fukuroi City to make sure that people are protected from worst-case scenarios.
