　A staff member said, "The disaster that occurred in Hiroshima in August is not a fire on the other side of the river, but could also occur in Shimonoseki. In addition to preparing for a disaster on a regular basis, if a disaster occurs, I would like you to respond flexibly by combining "self-help, mutual assistance, and Kosuke ".
