The Japan RV Association has signed agreements with the cities of Nakama and Okagaki (Fukuoka Prefecture) to provide camper vans for accommodating rescue workers during large-scale disasters. According to the association, these are the first such agreements with local governments on the island of Kyushu.
The association comprises 172–175 manufacturers and sellers of campers. Previously, after the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake, it dispatched about 60 campers to the affected area at the request of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and Ishikawa Prefecture, which were used by municipal employees who arrived from across the country.
