Construction of a "data collaboration platform" in the disaster prevention field

Last Updated:

Digital Agency is building a data-linkage platform in the disaster prevention field so that it can quickly provide the support that residents need during disasters. With this platform, we will promote data-linkage among disaster prevention apps and services and aim to eliminate redundant input. Through this, we will develop an environment that delivers appropriate support to each resident.

Overview

Digital Agency is designing and building a data-linkage platform to promote the development and use of resident support apps. By strengthening data linkage between apps and services, we aim to realize one time information input (once-only) through disaster prevention apps, etc., and create an environment where each resident can receive accurate support in the event of a disaster.

Approach

Fiscal 2024 verification test on data-sharing infrastructure in the disaster prevention field

Digital Agency is considering the construction of a data-linkage infrastructure in the disaster prevention field so that it can quickly provide the support that residents need at the time of disasters. In fiscal 2024 (fiscal 2024), verification test such as data-linkage between disaster prevention apps will be implemented with the cooperation of Joso City, Ibaragi Prefecture and Koto Ward, Tokyo Prefecture.
In this verification test, five disaster prevention applications already developed and operated by private sector will be linked through a data-linkage platform. Residents and voluntary disaster prevention organizations will participate in the verification of the following items.

  • Reduce the burden of entering the same information over and over again
  • Linking to appropriate support according to the situation of each victim

Please refer to the following documents for details. The results of the demonstration project will be compiled and released at a later date.

Results of Inviting Companies to Participate in Survey Research on the Demonstration of Data Linkage Infrastructure in the Disaster Prevention Field

In Digital Agency, based on the "Priority Plan for the Realization of a Digital Society" (Cabinet decision on June 21, 2024), efforts are being promoted to build a data-linkage platform in the field of disaster risk reduction.
In FY 2024 (FY 2024), as part of the "Survey and Research on the Demonstration of Data-Linkage Infrastructure in the Disaster Prevention Field" project, we are building a prototype data-linkage infrastructure in cooperation with the Disaster Prevention DX Public-Private Joint Creation Council, and are planning a data-linkage verification test using multiple disaster prevention applications that are actually in operation.
We invited members of the Disaster Prevention DX Public-Private Joint Creation Council to apply for an application business operator who can participate in the verification test of this project, and as a result of the selection, we selected "Y's Moss Mile Co., Ltd. (Application name: Minna no Bosai)" as an additional participating business operator.
For details, please refer to the following documents.

Data linkage with The SOBO-WEB

In designing and building a data-linkage platform, we are promoting initiatives for data-linkage with The SOBO-WEB *.
Reference: About The SOBO-WEB (SOBO-WEB) (Cabinet Office)

*The SOBO-WEB
This is a digital platform for disaster prevention, which is a common platform aimed at integrating and sharing disaster prevention information that should be shared across disaster prevention related organizations in a common system, which Cabinet Office Disaster Prevention aims to build in the future.

Consideration for the development of a data platform in the field of disaster prevention

In cooperation with Cabinet Office, the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, and other organizations, the Center is examining desirable and important basic information to be shared among disaster-response organizations and operational rules necessary for data distribution in order to develop a platform in the disaster prevention field.
