Gehirn, the company behind the "NERV Disaster Preparedness" app and its vital disaster information services, has teamed up with Khara, the studio that brought us the iconic "Neon Genesis Evangelion" series! Today (March 19), they officially launched the "NERV Designated Disaster Preparedness Program." Coinciding with the anime's 30th anniversary, this exciting initiative will roll out disaster preparedness items infused with classic EVA style. The goal is to collaborate with more businesses and organizations to develop even more practical disaster relief products and services.
The "NERV Designated Disaster Preparedness Program" draws its inspiration directly from the "Neon Genesis Evangelion" anime, where the Special Agency NERV was tasked with equipping Tokyo-3 with essential disaster supplies. Now, this fictional concept is leaping into reality, bringing practical, EVA-themed disaster preparedness gear to life.
Gehirn's own meteorologists and disaster prevention experts will personally test each product, ensuring its quality and functionality meet stringent disaster preparedness standards. Once approved, Gehirn will assist with product design and planning, while Khara will handle the commercial licensing. The program plans to introduce a wide range of items, from food to disaster tools, in the future. Interested companies can contact Khara directly for licensing inquiries.
The hope is that this program will spark greater interest in disaster preparedness among EVA fans and users of the "NERV Disaster Preparedness" app, boosting overall readiness. Future product announcements will be shared via the app and official social media channels.
Kicking off the program's first wave is the highly anticipated return of the "NERV Designated Disaster Rations," a fan favorite first released in 2020! These rations have been upgraded for even better taste and texture, offering five delicious options: Beef Curry, Gyudon (Beef Bowl), Beef Stew, Chukadon (Chinese-style Donburi), and Stewed Hamburger Steak. No need for fire or water – these meals are self-heating, providing a warm, satisfying meal anytime. Plus, they meet the same rigorous standards used by self-defense forces and rescue operations, ensuring you're well-fed and prepared when it matters most.
▼ The packaging features designs straight out of the Evangelion universe, clearly marked as "NERV Designated Supplies."

And of course, Gehirn's signature "NERV Disaster Preparedness" app remains a cornerstone, delivering real-time alerts for earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and other hazards based on the user's current and designated locations. The official team is also planning functional upgrades to provide even more precise disaster warnings, ensuring you're always in the loop – with alerts pushed both on their official X (formerly Twitter) account and directly through the app.
The "NERV Designated Disaster Preparedness Program" aims to get more people thinking about disaster readiness, leveraging the captivating world of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" to make preparedness engaging and exciting. The official announcement also teases more collaborations on the horizon, promising to integrate the 30th-anniversary celebration of Evangelion even deeper into daily life. We can't wait to see what other innovative ventures they cook up!
