Overview

When disasters occur, information is essential to quickly grasp the damage situation, make accurate decisions, and take appropriate action. By sharing disaster-related information through the use of digital technology among the national government, local governments, and designated public institutions, it is possible to implement optimal responses to disasters as a whole. In addition, it is important to provide detailed support according to individual circumstances so that residents and others can be fully prepared for disasters even in ordinary times and can take action to protect their lives in the event of a disaster.
