In cooperation with each department, we confirmed the safety of our employees and supported the devastated areas, the daily lives of those living in such areas, and the resumption of production.(2) Human ImpactBy means of a safety confirmation system, we confirmed the safety of employees working and on the road in the Tohoku and Kanto districts where seismic activity was destructive.(3) Extent of Damage to Buildings and Other FacilitieslTohoku DistrictIn the Tohoku district, there are 8 bases of the Nitto Denko Group. (Refer to map)The most damaged of these was the Nitto Denko Tohoku Plant located in Osaki-shi, 40 km north of Sendai-shi. Part of the buildings was damaged, but other facilities in the plant were barely affected. However, because of the disruption to essential utilities and subsequent examination of our facilities, we had to stop production for two weeks. On March 24 when utilities were restored, production partially resumed. By mid-April, production had almost recovered to the pre-quake level.At the Nissho Iwaki Plant, there was no major damage to buildings or other facilities. However, because of the disruption to utilities and the Fukushima crisis*, production was partially interrupted. On March 22, it was restored.Office of Nitto Denko Tohoku Sales Branch in Sendai-shiThe cabinet was fixed to the wall but fell because of the violent shaking of the earthquake.Nissho Iwaki PlantThe glass in the entrance was broken.
