Hello, everyone.<\/p>\n

This is Enta.<\/p>\n

The other day, I attended a presentation on the water discharge test conducted by an NPO that Enta is assisting with construction.<\/p>\n

We do this every year without fail. (To promote the activity.)<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

This is an NPO that promotes disaster preparedness by digging wells in advance so they can be used when a disaster strikes.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The new portable fire pump on the left.<\/p>\n

Use this to draw water from the well!<\/p>\n

\"Portable<\/p>\n

Ten \u03c630 wells are connected to the end of the hose.<\/p>\n

We use a portable fire pump to draw water, but,<\/p>\n

This portable fire pump is a type of pump that can be found in every municipality throughout Japan.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s reassuring to know that there\u2019s always a pump right in the neighborhood, even if a disaster strikes, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Even without running at full capacity, it can supply water to about 20 faucets.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Naturally, it can deliver water at a pressure high enough to be used for firefighting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It's a great system, but we're having a hard time installing it in other areas.<\/p>\n

That's because this is less about disaster prevention measures and more about preparing for a disaster.<\/p>\n

It would be great to have in case of a disaster, but other than that, it's not really necessary.<\/p>\n

That's why it hasn't really caught on...<\/p>\n
