About this page

This page outlines emergency measures taken by the Kinki Regional Communications Bureau during disasters. When necessary to secure critical communications during emergencies, the bureau can grant ad-hoc authorizations for opening wireless stations, changing frequencies, and modifying equipment locations via phone or verbal approval. Eligible communications include emergency transmissions, disaster management operations, and public facility broadcasts. Applications are initially made verbally or by phone with formal documentation submitted later. The bureau processes approvals using the same expedited method. Historical examples include licenses granted during the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake and typhoon disasters for public utility and maritime navigation systems.
