STATUS AND ISSUES OF BCP EFFORTS BY CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES IN HOKKAIDO AFTER THE 2018 HOKKAIDO EASTERN IBURI EARTHQUAKE

In recent years, large-scale natural disasters have frequently occurred in JAPAN, causing serious damage, so the role played by the construction companies in the region is becoming increasingly important for local communities to recover their daily lives after disasters occur. It is important to formulate BCP in advance and create the system that can exert its power in the recovery and reconstruction of the company operations and the local community when disaster will occur. Therefore, we conducted a BCP questionnaire survey for construction companies of the Hokkaido Construction Industry Association. As a result, it was found that the BCP formulation rate was 38%, slightly lower than the national average, and that there were differences due to regional differences and company size. We discuss issues and necessary measures for improving the formulation rate in the future and for expressing the functions in the event of disasters.
