Overview

In the event of a disaster, "information" is essential for rapid assessment of the damage situation, accurate decision-making, and appropriate action. By using digital technology and sharing disaster information, the national government, local governments, and designated public institutions can implement the most appropriate disaster response as a whole. In addition, it is important to provide detailed support according to individual circumstances so that residents can be fully prepared for disasters and take action to protect their lives in the event of a disaster.

Digital Agency, in cooperation with related ministries and agencies, local governments, private companies, etc., is promoting the development and utilization of disaster prevention applications to support residents and building a data-linked infrastructure to support them. For details, please check "Disaster Prevention DX Efforts in " published in Digital Agency Handout .
