Last Updated:

The support provided by Digital Agency during disasters that have actually occurred is listed. Based on the experience, knowledge, and challenges gained through support, we will continue to work to realize disaster prevention DX that is prepared for future disasters.

Efforts to Grasp Victims' Information Using Digital Technology in the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake Response

In the disaster-stricken areas of Noto Peninsula Earthquake, there are increasing opportunities for disaster victims to be moved to wider areas, such as moving from a primary evacuation shelter to a 1.5 or secondary evacuation shelter, or starting to live outside of evacuation shelter (at relatives' homes or homes inside and outside the prefecture, or sleeping in cars, etc.). During this process, it has become difficult to determine their whereabouts and the usage status of each evacuation shelter. Once again, it has become a challenge to appropriately determine the whereabouts and movements of disaster victims.
For this reason, Digital Agency and the Disaster Prevention DX Public-Private Co-Creation Council, in response to a request from the Ishikawa prefectural government and with the cooperation of the East Japan Railway Company, will propose a solution for identifying information on evacuees using Suica. The solution will be implemented as described in the following materials.
