Free Online Seminar on AI Utilization for Disaster Management in Local Governments

Free Online Seminar on AI for Disaster Management in Local Governments

Local governments face unprecedented challenges due to the rising frequency of large-scale disasters. As part of ongoing efforts to enhance public safety, the tech startup Spectee, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is holding a complimentary online seminar aimed at local government officials. The event, titled "Utilization of AI during Disasters in Local Governments", will be conducted on June 24, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

The need for a comprehensive disaster response plan is more critical than ever. A recent survey conducted by Spectee among professionals involved in disaster management revealed that 50% of respondents highlighted the demand for accurate and timely information from residents during disasters. However, nearly 60% of these officials expressed challenges in swiftly gathering and providing such information. This underscores the growing necessity for digital transformation (DX) in disaster prevention to effectively secure citizen safety.

To address these demands, Spectee has developed Spectee Pro, a real-time disaster management service powered by AI. This tool analyzes social media, weather data, and information from various road and river cameras to provide quick, visualized, and predictive insights into disasters or crises occurring worldwide. Currently, approximately 70% of prefectural governments in Japan have adopted this technology, marking its significant impact on the national disaster response landscape.

During the upcoming seminar, attendees will learn about the specific features and use cases of Spectee Pro. Discussions will focus on how AI can support decision-making within disaster response headquarters and improve the preparedness of local governments, all framed within a practical context. This presentation is particularly tailored for disaster management personnel and DX promotion officials who are keen to leverage AI in enhancing their disaster response protocols.
