It is no exaggeration to call Japan a "disaster archipelago," as exemplified by the recent heavy rains in Western Japan and the Hokkaido Iburi earthquake. With typhoons increasing in size and frequency every year, sudden downpours that can occur anywhere in the country, and the Nankai Trough earthquake, local governments and citizens are becoming more disaster-conscious than ever before.
Until now, disaster prevention information has been provided to "communities" via outdoor public address systems on disaster prevention administrative radio, and to "households" via individual receivers. However, to further minimize damage, it will be necessary to thoroughly promote the provision of information via smartphones, which enable the provision of information to "individuals."
The penetration rate of the latest smartphones has exceeded 82%. At this time, the disaster prevention cloud service "GConnected" is a service that aims to minimize damage by preparing for "disasters" using the tools of the "cloud" and "smartphones."
This is an app for residents.
