Advantages
We help stakeholders implement a holistically optimized network that utilizes digital twin, observation and forecasting technologies, and personal data to meticulously estimate, collect, and share information of hazards and damages, and to enable rapid decision-making and information provision by local authorities, emergency response in cooperation with the private sector and personalized evacuation assistance.
Solution Illustrated
Background
Conventional disaster response systems, in which telephone, fax, or whiteboard are mainly used, make it difficult to provide assistances in a timely manner based on the attributes of each individual. In addition, the issues such as budgetary constraints of public institutions, integration with other systems of other fields or institutions, and regulations regarding the use of personal information the fundamental problems hindering digitalization.
As keys to accomplishing DX in disaster management in the future, it will be necessary to (i) reduce loads of public assistance while expand self and mutual assistance, (ii) implement data utilization and services that are designed to be utilized when disaster occurs in advance, and (iii) eliminate institutional issues and improve workflows.
