Thanks to AEON MALL's rapid procurement of rice balls, we could then provide them to people seeking refuge at the community center due to housing damage and blackouts. In December, we held "Kisarazu Disas-ter Prevention Festa" at the mall in cooperation with the Self-Defense Forces and related authorities. Through this event, we were able to reinforce the importance of disaster prevention in the mind of many residents. I would like to further strengthen our city's disaster prevention system by deepen-ing cooperation with related organizations.Local Community Infrastructure Development Tetsuya SekiguchiSection Manager, Crisis Management Section, General Aairs Department, Kisarazu CityAEON MALL CSR / ESG Report 202018
