'Leaving No One Behind.' Oi Group Begins Disaster Prevention Awareness Campaign for Elderly and Welfare Facilities

Gifu Prefecture | Fire Safety & Disaster Prevention Business

Oi Group, a company specializing in the inspection, installation, and maintenance of fire and disaster prevention equipment, has announced the launch of a new disaster prevention awareness campaign targeting elderly care and welfare facilities, inspired by the 'inclusive society' philosophy of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games.

### Background: Towards Disaster Prevention for Those with Mobility Challenges

In the event of a fire or disaster, not everyone can evacuate in the same way. This applies particularly to the elderly, people with disabilities, and those requiring assistance. In elderly and welfare facilities, immediate response during a fire, evacuation support, and the normal operation of fire safety equipment are extremely critical. However, many facilities face challenges such as aging equipment, inadequate inspections, and anxiety regarding emergency responses.

### 'Inclusive Society' Theme of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games

'Diversity' and a 'society that leaves no one behind' are key themes of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games. Oi Group believes this philosophy is vital not only in sports but also in disaster prevention. We feel it is increasingly important to build disaster prevention systems that include those who require support, rather than assuming everyone can evacuate on their own.

### About the Awareness Campaign

Through this awareness campaign, we will provide information and educational activities to elderly and welfare facilities on the following:

- Importance of fire equipment inspections - Initial emergency response - Risks associated with aging disaster prevention equipment - Evacuation safety during fire incidents - Importance of equipment functioning correctly in emergencies

We will also work to raise disaster prevention awareness in the local community through SNS and our website.

### 'Unseen Equipment' Protects Lives

Ideally, fire safety equipment is never used. However, it is directly linked to human lives if it fails to operate normally when truly needed. This includes fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, emergency broadcasting systems, and emergency power generators. We believe protecting the 'routine of nothing happening' is the essence of disaster prevention.

### Representative Comment: Oi Group Representative, Yuki Oi

'In elderly care and welfare facilities, the question of how to protect those who cannot evacuate on their own is critical. Equipment often goes unnoticed, but it is required to function reliably at the exact moment it is needed most. The concept of an 'inclusive society' advocated by the Asian Para Games will become increasingly important in the field of disaster prevention. We will continue to support 'peace of mind that leaves no one behind' through our fire and disaster prevention equipment services.'
