从311地震返回90,000张丢失的照片
- 投影项目背后的技术 -

东京，2015年3月9日— Ricoh today announced that it has successfully returned almost 90,000 photos through its “Save the Memory Project”, which it has been carrying out as part of its reconstruction support activities after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami since August 2011, with the aim of returning photos lost and damaged in the tsunami to their owners.

Project involves collecting precious photos found in the disaster-affected area and cleaning them, with the help of local government and countless volunteers, and then using MFPs to digitize and store photos on the cloud so that people can search easily. Searches can be carried out on computers at local government photo centers. Once someone has found a photo, the original and all associated data is returned to them via the relevant local government. In total, there are over 400,000 digitized photos on file. In the four years since the earthquake and accompanying tsunami, almost 90,000 of these photos have been returned to their owners through photo centers in five locations.

返回照片背后的驱动力一直在确定受地震和海啸影响的人们，以检索宝贵的财产，不可替代的照片给他们的业主。通过这些活动，RicoH在利用其资源，组织能力，技术和设施方面建立了相当大的专业知识，使与当地政府合作产生差异。在一个理想的世界中，在类似的灾难之后，不需要再次使用这种专业知识。如果发生这种灾难确实发生了，Rico希望热衷于尽可能广泛地分享其专业知识，以便提供帮助。有了这一概念，将于3月9日从3月9日开始向公众提供返回照片和票据的程序。毋庸置疑，如果此信息也用于其他目的，则Ricoh很高兴，而不仅仅是在灾难事件。

Ricoh continues to carry out recovery support in the disaster-affected area on other fronts too. Activities include providing support for hands-on programs at elementary schools and events in Higashi Matsushima via the Ricoh Science Caravan “Try to be a copier machine!”; helping to rebuild the fishing industry in Minamisanriku (Miyagi prefecture) by getting around 200 new employees involved every year as part of their training; organizing events showcasing produce from the Tohoku region at group company offices; taking part in the Japan Association of Corporate Executives’ “IPPO IPPO NIPPON” project; and making ongoing donations via Ricoh’s Social Contribution Club “FreeWill,” an employee-led endeavor. The Ricoh Group will keep thinking about ways in which it can help, as it continues to make a broad contribution to the development of a more sustainable society, in the hope of rebuilding and reconstructing industry in the disaster-affected area.

(*) Final number of returned photos: 91,477 as of March 31, 2015
