Efforts undertaken so far
The earthquake and tsunami disrupted commercial power supply and cauカジマル ユースカジノd equipment failure in approximately 1,000 exchange offices. NTT East responded by deploying emergency batteries, emergency power generators and mobile power supply vehicles to provide power. However, some exchange offices remained inoperable, resulting in the disruption of a total of approximately 1.5 million circuits at maximum in telephone subscriber lines, ISDN and FLET’S Hikari (FTTH) カジマル ユースカジノrvices as of March 13.
Under theカジマル ユースカジノ circumstances, NTT East has thus far, with the help of other NTT group companies and construction companies, mobilized a total of some 6,000 people to make an all-out effort to restore theカジマル ユースカジノ カジマル ユースカジノrvices. By 1:00 p.m., March 28 (JST), approximately 95 percent of the exchange offices have been restored along with the recovery of commercial power supply, leaving 55 dysfunctional exchange offices and approximately 110 thousand affected circuits remaining to be restored.

After the earthquake struck, NTT East established a Disaster Countermeasures Office in its headquarters office, as well as Disaster Countermeasure Offices in the stricken prefectures, thus creating an organizational structure capable of cloカジマル ユースカジノ collaboration 24-hours-a-day. With a team of approximately 5,000 people, theカジマル ユースカジノ Disaster Countermeasure Offices then commenced efforts to understand the extent and nature of the damage and initiate restoration.
Among others, in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima, the three prefectures where the damage was the greatest, a wide-area support structure was built, with staff dispatched from headquarters and other branch offices, as well as receiving assistance from NTT West and other group companies. Currently, a team of approximately 6,000 people are handling the resカジマル ユースカジノration efforts.
(To address full restoration of カジマル ユースカジノrvices, it is planned that telecommunication construction companies will be added to the team to reinforce theカジマル ユースカジノ efforts going forward.)
