Notice and Info - 04/07/2025At the "ITSUMO MOSHIMO Caravan in Kobe" event, Starlite presented the importance of getting used to using emergency toilets on a regular basis.
The third "ITSUMO MOSHIMO Caravan in Kobe " (the page is in Japanese only) event was held in Nagata-ku, Kobe City at Wakamatsu Park on May 11. Nagata-ku in Kobe City was one of the areas that suffered the most damage in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake occurred in 1995. In recent years, toilet-related issues during disasters have been in the spotlight, and people who came to the event were very interested in emergency toilets. Students and parents with young children, who had not participated in the event before, also joined us.
At the area for utility hole toilets, people sat on the actual toilet and felt that the inside of the toilet facility is a secure space. We also provided a display board showing the locations of utility hole toilets in the Nagata-ku area on a map, which is useful to check evacuation sites.
The number of participants in the "Let's try using a Portable Quick Toilet" area exceeded 100 groups, reaffirming the high level of interest in the portable toilets.
The risk of infection and odor control varies greatly depending on the coagulation speed. It is also particularly important to know how to use the portable toilets you have stored at home. We received many comments about the "Portable Quick Toilet that solidifies in 5 seconds ", such as "I was worried about odors and infections, but solidifying the moment you add the coagulant is amazing." and "I am going to use the portable toilet I have stored at home too.".
In recent years, earthquakes and heavy rain disasters have been occurring frequently throughout Japan. It is very important to be prepared for disasters on a regular basis. As the rainy season approaches, we would like to raise awareness about the importance of stockpiling supplies for disasters and learning about your area's preparedness and characteristics. It is also important to think about what you would do if a disaster were to occur.
