First of all, we will create a cooperative framework with entities and related organizations that support the advocate needs.
It is possible to use existing neighborhood associations, such as Neighborhood Associations Neighborhood Association and disaster prevention organizations, or to recruit new members. Let's consider where it will be the subject according to the local situation.

There are many ways to grasp the key advocate in the region.
Totsuka Ward provides a list of advocate as one way to grasp the advocate.

Let's make a daily relationship with advocate through greetings and calls.
It is also important for advocate itself to participate in and participate in local initiatives to the extent possible, such as by joining the community’s circle of support and building relationships and participating in local disaster drill.

Regarding the personal information of advocate that we have grasped in our efforts, we will continue to do so.

• When acquiring personal information, determine the purpose of what to use for and communicate it to the person.
• Do not use personal information for any purpose other than the specified purpose.
• When handing personal information to a third party, obtain the consent of the individual.

We will adhere to the rules and manage them appropriately.
In the event of an emergency such as a danger to the life or body of the person, such as in the event of a disaster, information can be provided to a third party without consent.
The balance between protection and utilization of personal information is important. If you understand the rules correctly and handle them carefully, you will lead to community development where you can live with peace of mind.
