Overview

In the event of a disaster, "information" is essential to quickly assess the damage, make accurate decisions, and take appropriate actions. The central government, local governments, and designated public institutions can use digital technology to share disaster information and implement optimal disaster responses as a whole. In addition, it is important to provide detailed support according to individual circumstances so that residents can fully prepare for disasters from peacetime and take actions to protect their lives in the event of a disaster.

Digital Agency is collaborating with related ministries and agencies, local governments, private companies, etc. to promote the development and utilization of disaster prevention apps to support residents, and to build data-linked infrastructure to support this. For details, please check "Disaster Prevention DX Initiatives in " published in Digital Agency Materials .
