Natural disasters such as major earthquakes and typhoons
threaten our way of life. Climate change has resulted infrequent destructive typhoons and extreme weather over recentyears. As a result, interest is rising faster than ever in the safetyof real estate, which is a foundation of our lives.
As a real estate services provider, the Tokyo TatemonoGroup believes that improving resilience against disasters inordinary times and providing safety and comfort to ourcustomers and other stakeholders are important responsibilities.

Brillia Shonan Tsujido Seaside Park (Fujisawa City, Kanagawa
Prefecture; completed in March 2019) is the first private
condominium in Fujisawa City to receive a subsidy for theconstruction of tsunami evacuation facilities. It features a 400m2
tsunami evacuation facility that can be used by nearby residents.
The rooftop evacuation facility will allow not only condominium
residents but also members of the local community to evacuate
in the event of a tsunami. With capacity for approximately 660
people, the facility provides a safe location to wait until thetsunami recedes.

and shocks such as those that hit during the 2016
Kumamoto Earthquake.
Buildings managed by Tokyo Tatemono are served by aDisaster Status Monitoring System. Field staff and Tokyo
Tatemono personnel can access this system via the internet
and share information quickly about the situation on theground. After information is shared, the system also allows
instructions to be provided for actions to take depending on thescenario. Training exercises are also conducted at night withthis system, as a disaster could come at any time, day or night.

Climate change and other factors have been causing
greater wind and flood damage in recent years. The Tokyo
Tatemono Group has applied designs and adopted
equipment in our office buildings and residences in
preparation for presumed future disasters, including
typhoons, floods, and major earthquakes.
The Tokyo Tatemono Nihonbashi Building (Chuo-ku, Tokyo;
completed in February 2015) has a seismic isolation structure(first basement floor: column-head seismic isolation) to ensurehigh earthquake resistance. The building is equipped with an
emergency generator that can operate for 72 hours, supplying
15 VA/m2 of power in the event of a power failure. The building
also features countermeasures against guerrilla rains and theArakawa River flooding its banks. The disaster prevention
center, its central function, is located on the second floor. The
electrical substation and emergency power generator are
installed on the roof, enabling continuous operation of thepower supply without interruption, even in the event of flooding.

information from subsequent seismic events, automatically calculating the cumulative

and shocks, the system can make a determination of the safety level of the earthquake
based on foreshocks.

When major earthquakes or other disasters occur, public
transportation functions may halt, stranding commuters. At
the large-scale office buildings managed by the Tokyo
Tatemono Group, we have prepared support mechanisms fortenants. We have entered into agreements with localmunicipalities and developed systems, structures, andresource stockpiles in anticipation of scenarios in which
stranded commuters require housing.

Strengthening of Disaster Prevention Measures in theResidential Business: Introduction of the Brillia Disaster
Prevention Guidelines
As part of the Comfort From Day One theme, the Brillia brandoffers disaster prevention measures unique to each property.
Actions are divided into three phases to ensure appropriate
action: normal, disaster, and post-disaster.
In accordance with the Brillia Disaster Prevention Guidelines,
we created disaster prevention manuals unique to eachproperty. We also hold disaster prevention seminars,evacuation drills, and life-saving courses for management staff.
These daily preparations are leading to stronger awareness ofdisaster prevention.
We have implemented a number of measures to increase
earthquake resistance and mitigate disasters to ensure safety.
These include wall bases that prevent furniture from falling,earthquake-resistant unit doors, and emergency lights at floor
level during power outages. AED stations are also standard
equipment in communal spaces. In addition, we haveequipped each residence with Brillia-original chair-styledisaster prevention backpacks, packed with key items that will
help in critical moments, such as a multi-function radio andportable toilet.
It is also important that community residents help eachother in times of disaster. We have set up stock areas fordisaster goods and stockpiled items, including manhole toilets,
water purifiers, and power generators. These items are placedin common spaces for mutual aid during evacuations.
These guidelines received the Good Design Award in theService Design Category in 2011, highly commending ourefforts in raising awareness about disaster prevention on a daily
basis, as well as our improvement of mutual prevention
awareness between residents.

Emergency Bath Facilities

Fire Brigade Training and First-Aid Courses

The Ofuro no Osama chain is a chain of Japanese-stylebathhouses developed by Tokyo Tatemono Resort. The primary
aim of these bathhouses is to offer a soothing space that is animportant, integrated part of the local community. As a means
to this end, Ofuro no Osama entered into an agreement withthe cities of Ayase and Ebina in Kanagawa Prefecture to allow
the use of Ofuro no Osama bathing facilities in the event of anemergency.
Thanks to this agreement, anyone affected by anearthquake or other disaster may use bathing facilities at three
Ofuro no Osama locations (Ebina, Kozashibuya Ekimae, andSeya) located in and around the two aforementioned cities.

As part of soft-measure initiatives for disaster prevention, theTokyo Tatemono Group hosts fire-fighting and other training
and courses to enhance our ability to respond to disasters.
Fire brigade training is conducted once or twice yearly for thepurpose of strengthening voluntary disaster prevention systems.
In this training, participants follow the instructions frommembers of the local fire brigade as they engage in several
hands-on exercises for earthquake and fire response. Theseexercises include initial response, first-line fire-fighting, rescue
and lifesaving, transporting injured persons and evacuation drills.
Furthermore, the Group company fire squad trains on a dailybasis. For many years, the squad has participated in the SelfDefense Fire-Fighting Drill Review Board held by the Nihonbashi
Fire Department, earning five wins to date. (The competition
was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.)
As of the end of December 2020, 299 Tokyo Tatemono
employees and 604 Tokyo Fudosan Kanri employees havecompleted the lifesaving course, which includes first aid. Tokyo
Tatemono has received a certificate of excellence from theTokyo Fire Department, in recognition for promoting first aid
training among its employees.

Joint Training for Earthquake Disaster Response(Including Group Companies)
The Tokyo Tatemono Group has established a basic policy forearthquake response, called the Basic Plan for Earthquake
Measures. We have prepared manuals for initial response,stockpiling, and employee safety confirmation.
Each October, group companies conduct joint drills onearthquake countermeasures to confirm chain of command,
division of responsibilities, information gathering andcommunications, and employee safety confirmation. In 2020,
in anticipation of the declaration of a state of emergency toprevent the spread of COVID-19, we used online communication
tools to remotely set up an earthquake countermeasure
headquarters (i.e., set up an earthquake countermeasure
headquarters that could be operated by staff working
from home).
In recent years, climate change and other factors have beencausing greater wind and flood damage. We have therefore
been conducting windstorms and floods drills that simulate theflooding of the Arakawa River in order to improve our ability torespond to windstorms and floods.
