Leveraging AI in Disaster Management: Spectee's Municipal Seminar

Seminar Overview

On August 28, 2025, at 14:00 (JST), the Japanese startup Spectee is hosting an online seminar titled "Utilizing AI in Disaster Management for Municipalities." In recent years, the increasing frequency of large-scale disasters has made the promotion of disaster response technologies a critical issue for local governments. It is essential for municipalities to establish a robust information gathering system during disasters to ensure public safety and effectively manage risk.

A survey conducted by Spectee highlighted that while 50% of disaster response personnel expressed a need for accurate and rapid information sharing during emergencies, nearly 60% reported facing challenges in providing such timely information.

In this seminar, Spectee will discuss "Spectee Pro," a tool widely adopted by local governments that utilizes AI to analyze “crisis” information in real-time, deliver necessary risk management information, and visualize damage statuses swiftly. The seminar will delve into various case studies on how municipalities can leverage AI for disaster prevention, focusing on aspects such as gathering information from social media and forecasting possible emergencies and damages.

To provide a solid foundation for attendees, the seminar will include an extensive Q&A session, allowing participants to engage directly with the expert, Kenjiro Murakami, CEO of Spectee, ensuring they leave with tangible insights into addressing the challenges related to disaster preparedness.
