Promotion of data linkage in the field of disaster prevention

Last Updated:

Overview

In the field of disaster prevention, many excellent applications are provided by private companies and local governments, and it is important to promote disaster prevention DX by making full use of them.
In Digital Agency, we will aim for data-linkage between such disaster prevention applications and promote initiatives to promote data-linkage in the field of disaster prevention by realizing "once only" (inputting information only once with a disaster prevention application, etc.) by linking with government disaster prevention systems such as The SOBO-WEB (SOBO-WEB). In this way, we aim for an environment that delivers appropriate support to each resident.

Challenge

Fiscal 2024 Disaster Prevention Data-Linkage Infrastructure verification test

Digital Agency is considering the promotion of data-linkage in the field of disaster prevention so that it can quickly provide the support needed by residents in the event of disasters.
In FY 2024 (2024), in cooperation with Joso City, Ibaraki and Koto Ward, Tokyo Prefecture, we conducted a verification test on data-linkage between disaster prevention applications as follows.
In this verification test, five disaster prevention applications already developed and operated by private sector were linked through the data-linked infrastructure. The following items were verified with the participation of residents and voluntary disaster prevention organizations.

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

Please refer to the following document for details.

We have compiled a report by verification test and will make it public.

Results of Solicitation for Business Operators to Participate in Research and Studies on Demonstration of Data Linkage Infrastructure in the Disaster Prevention Field

Based on the "Priority Plan for the Realization of a Digital Society" (approved by the Cabinet on June 21, 2024), Digital Agency is promoting initiatives to build data-linked infrastructure in the field of disaster risk reduction.
In fiscal 2024 (fiscal 2024), under the "Survey and Research on the Demonstration of Data Linkage Infrastructure in the Disaster Prevention Field" project, we are planning to build a prototype of the data linkage infrastructure in cooperation with the Disaster Prevention DX Public-Private Co-Creation Council, as well as a verification test on data linkage using multiple disaster prevention applications that are actually in operation.
We invited members of the Disaster Prevention DX Public-Private Co-Creation Council to participate in the verification test of this project, and as a result of the selection, we selected "itsmosmile Co., Ltd. (app name: Minna no Bosai)" as an additional participating business operator.
For details, please refer to the following documents.

Data-link with The SOBO-WEB

At Cabinet Office Disaster Prevention, we are working toward data-linkage with the The SOBO-WEB (SOBO-WEB), which started operation in April 2024.

Study towards the development of a data platform for disaster risk reduction

In order to develop a platform for disaster risk reduction, we are collaborating with Cabinet Office, the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, and other organizations to study the basic information that is desirable to be shared among disaster-response organizations and the operational rules necessary for data distribution.
