Vending machines give free stuff after natural disasters in Japan

April 14, 2009

Vending machines are becoming one of the biggest aids to those affected by natural disasters in Japan, such as floods and earthquakes, according to the latest news reports. The Japanese news agency, Kyodo news, stated how vending machines in troubled areas were used to distribute free goods, including drinks, to those affected by natural disasters.

All of the vending machines that offer assistance to people in natural disasters sport signs on the front explaining how people can get free drinks from them when there is an emergency. The idea is that the machines are able to provide people with vital liquids when their areas have been cut off from water, and help can’t get to them quickly.

Fuji Keizai is a marketing and consultation firm in Japan. They said that demand for vending machines increased by as much as 35% in the last 2 years, and expected to increase further over the next few years to be as high as 7 billion yen by 2013.

Each vending machine comes equipped with a battery back-up so that should there be a power cut they are still able to dispense vital liquids without needing to be plugged in. There are 35 of these vending machines in all of the subway stations in the Japanese city of Kyoto.
