Strengthening Disaster Preparedness: A Webinar on Typhoon Threats

As Japan enters the rainy season, concerns about significant disaster risks amplify. JX Communications, a company specializing in disaster DX, in partnership with Newton Consulting, announces a free webinar aimed at enhancing business continuity planning (BCP) in the face of looming typhoon threats. This informative session is scheduled for July 23, 2025.

The webinar emerges at a pivotal moment; June 2025 marks the start of Japan’s rainy season, following a particularly late formation of Typhoon No. 1. This year's heightened weather risks demand adequate preparation and early planning, which the webinar will strategically address. Participants will hear from experts on the necessity of advanced disaster management practices, particularly given the increased likelihood of extreme weather events.

Webinar Highlights

During the session, expert Yuichiro Kuno from Newton Consulting will cover the critical areas of focus, including the common challenges encountered during typhoons, namely,
- Delays in information gathering
- Misjudged situational assessments

Through the use of real-life case studies, the webinar will elucidate effective strategies and best practices for proactive responses to disasters. The hands-on experience will include a simulation exercise utilizing Newton’s AI-powered BCP training tool, “dan-lo,” illustrating the decision-making process of a command center as a massive typhoon approaches.

Leveraging historical disaster data, JX Communications aims to equip attendees with practical insights that can be instrumental in preparing for unprecedented weather events.

Key Topics to be Discussed:

1. An exploration of damages caused by typhoons and linearly structured rainfall and effective countermeasures.
2. Simulation training using “dan-lo” to navigate management strategies during approaching typhoons.
3. Essential points to grasp the on-ground situation during a disaster activation.

Event Details:

• - Date: July 23, 2025
• - Time: 12:10 PM to 1:00 PM (JST)
