[Free Distribution] Preventing Lightning Damage Part 1: Basic Knowledge and Evacuation Action Guidebook
The humid rainy season has arrived, and many people may be thinking about measures against heavy rain, such as linear precipitation zones. However, it is easy to get distracted by the heavy rain and not fully grasp the threat of lightning. It is said that the voltage of a lightning strike can reach 100 million volts, which is equivalent to 1 million times that of household electricity. In Japan, it is reported that there are over 1 million lightning strikes annually, which increases the risk for professions that often work outdoors, such as civil engineering and construction. As a private weather company, we believe it is important to share knowledge related to weather with everyone, even in small ways. Therefore, we have created a guidebook titled "Preventing Lightning Damage! (Part 1) Basic Knowledge and Evacuation Action Guide." We encourage you to take a look and use it for ensuring safety at your workplace or as training material. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.*

Three-color indicator light: Convenient usage techniques in conjunction with battery-operated water level gauge.
We would like to introduce convenient ways to utilize the newly released product, the "Three-Color Indicator Light," which was developed based on feedback from everyone. The "Three-Color Indicator Light" can be combined with a "Battery-Powered Water Level Gauge" to sound alarms based on segmented water level observations. Usage Examples: Monitor water level observations in three stages and take appropriate actions according to the level. Detect the risk of rapid water level rise during rainfall and take early preventive actions to ensure safety. - Set the baseline water level of 2m as Level 1: The green indicator light rotates, indicating standby. - Set the baseline water level of 4m as Level 2: The yellow indicator light rotates, indicating caution. - Set the baseline water level of 5m as Level 3: The red indicator light rotates, indicating evacuation. Additionally, the "Disaster Prevention Light" can display messages for workers and community members on a daily basis. Raising awareness of safety measures at the site is crucial through consistent practices such as daily KY (Kiken Yochi, or hazard prediction) and pointing out dangerous areas and points of caution. Let’s continuously display what to be cautious about during this season and strive to improve safety awareness across the entire site.
