Response to the Great East Japan Earthquake

Kanamoto will work to further enhance its "response flexibility" with the goal of accelerating restoration efforts.

Restoration works, including the disposal of debris, are still continuing in the disaster areas devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake. The table below provides a brief progress report on the debris processing in coastal communities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima, the three ravaged prefectures. The Ministry of the Environment has announced that while completion of disposal efforts in both Iwate Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture will be possible by the initial target of March 2014, completion of the debris processing measures in Fukushima Prefecture will be difficult. The ministry plans to announce a new schedule this summer.
Kanamoto will redouble its efforts to help complete the debris processing and disposal as early as possible, and also simultaneously devote its abilities to responding to ongoing demand in various locations to accelerate the social infrastructure restoration works currently underway.
