Hansokuhin Ryutsu Center, a provider of novelty and promotional goods operated by Koei Trade Co., Ltd. (HQ: Chuo-ku, Osaka; Representative Director: Koichi Uesugi), has published its 'Top 5 Disaster Prevention Novelty Ranking' based on order data from the first half of 2026 (January to June).

Background: Corporate Social Responsibility (BCP) Drives 'Distributed Novelties'

Amidst the recent surge in earthquakes and record-breaking heavy rain, corporate disaster prevention measures have evolved beyond 'in-house stockpiling' to 'distributed types' aimed at helping employees return home during emergencies and raising safety awareness among customers. Companies, in particular, are upgrading their stockpiles from a BCP (Business Continuity Plan) perspective, while schools and local governments are increasingly utilizing disaster relief items as part of their public awareness activities.

Items that are not only useful in emergencies but also easy to store and distribute ranked highly.
