Notice of Joint Disaster Prevention Drill with the Ground Self-Defense Forceto Prepare for Nankai Trough Megaquake
TOHO HOLDINGS CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Tokyo; Representative Director, CEO: Atsushi Udoh) is pleased toannounce that TOHO PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Tokyo; President and Representative Director:Akira Umada; hereinafter “TOHO PHARMACEUTICAL”), its wholly owned subsidiary engaged in pharmaceuticalwholesaling, conducted a joint disaster prevention drill on Wednesday, September 6, with the Yoga Branch of the Kanto
Supply Department of the Ground Self-Defense Force (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter “GSDF”) to improve preparedness
for a Nankai Trough megaquake.
1. Background of the Joint Disaster Prevention Drill with the GSDF
The Company’s social mission is to provide a stable supply of pharmaceuticals and other products even in times ofemergency, such as disasters and pandemics, and establishing its business continuity plan is positioned as one of its mostimportant issues. Over the years, we have been promoting our own BCP measures, such as duplicating mission-criticalsystems, building supply systems that can complement each other even in an emergency, and building distribution centersthat can operate even with a small number of people through the introduction of cutting-edge technology. In the event of alarge-scale disaster in Japan, such as an earthquake or heavy rain, we have realized prompt disaster response without
disrupting the supply of pharmaceuticals and other products. At the Keihin Truck Terminal, which has been designated by theTokyo Metropolitan Government as a base for transporting goods in the event of a disaster, we have established the only
pharmaceutical distribution center in Tokyo, TBC DynaBASE (Ota-ku, Tokyo), thereby developing a system to provide goods
quickly and stably in times of large-scale disasters across the country, including an earthquake beneath the Tokyo Metropolitanarea, through cooperation with public authorities and related organizations.
As part of this initiative, we conducted a joint disaster drill with the GSDF at the TBC DynaBASE in preparation for aNankai Trough megaquake. Going forward, we will continue to promote the Company’s disaster preparedness and strive tomaintain and improve its BCPs through such drills.
2. Overview of Joint Disaster Prevention Drill
1) GSDF’s response to TOHO PHARMACEUTICAL’s request to transport pharmaceuticals
In the event of a disaster, it is expected that delivery to medical institutions and others will be difficult due to unforeseen
circumstances such as road disruptions. As one of the measures to cope with this situation, we conducted a joint
transportation drill with the GSDF.
2) Supply of “ready-to-use supply sets” of emergency procurement items at the request of the GSDF
A drill to prepare and deliver ready-to-use supply sets was conducted using the inventory in TBC DynaBASE.
