The seawalls are planned at a height of 5.6 to 8.0 meters about the low tide water levels. The water gates have been installed in canals, and are closed off when there is a risk of flooding due to rising tides.　In order to respond quickly to emergencies such as high tides, earthquakes, and tsunamis, we have established the Hide Tide Response Center at the Port of Tokyo that oversees the operation of water gates. With the phased establishment of the Remote Control System starting in 1979, TMG has worked to centralize management of information, unifying supervision and the line of command, as well as to accelerate the operation of water gates.　In order to further improve the crisis management system, a second High Tide Response Center has been established. In addition to consolidating the functions of the conventional substations, the two High Tide Response Centers form a setup whereby they can conduct mutual backup.Formation of 2 bases of a High Tide Response Center38
