Abstract

This paper discusses BCPs for natural disaster risks such as earthquakes and tsunamis as a study on business continuity of Japanese small and medium enterprises (SMEs).Before discussing BCPs, a review of previous studies on risk management is conducted, followed by a case study of Suzuyo Corporation, a company in Shizuoka Prefecture bordering the Pacific Ocean, against natural disaster risks. A case study of a company in Shizuoka Prefecture bordering the Pacific Ocean is presented. Through this study, we hope to discuss the efforts of a cutting-edge company in Japan, a country that is prone to natural disasters, and hope that you will take an interest in this topic.1 Introduction.
