2. Disaster prevention bases

In response to the fact that rest facilities on Expressway were used as assembly points and relay points for related organizations such as the Self-Defense Forces and fire departments during the Great East Japan Earthquake, NEXCO EAST has developed rest facilities with functions that can be used by related organizations in the event of a disaster, and is operating them as disaster prevention bases.
