1. Lawson plans to establish 100 disaster response hub convenience stores across Japan by 2030, in preparation for large-scale disasters like the anticipated massive earthquake in the Nankai Trough.

2. These designated stores will have solar panels, emergency power supplies from electric vehicles, and Starlink satellite internet services to ensure operation during emergencies. They will also provide charging facilities for smartphones.

3. Lawson's first operational store with disaster response equipment will be in Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture this fiscal year, and it will conduct disaster drills. Other convenience store chains like FamilyMart are also exploring similar initiatives.
