Club Nets Enhances Disaster Prevention in Suzu City

In a significant advancement for public safety, Club Nets, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has officially launched a disaster prevention system as part of their operational support for Suzu City’s LINE official account. This innovative system allows residents to receive tailored disaster-related information and access crucial data regarding evacuation routes and shelters during emergencies.

Overview of the Initiative

In recent years, the complexity of disaster information dissemination has posed challenges for residents in identifying the information that is most relevant to them. The devastating Noto Peninsula Earthquake of 2024 highlighted the critical importance of understanding localized disaster risks, which can greatly expedite evacuation efforts. Insights gathered from this incident have driven the development of the new system aimed at empowering residents to swiftly grasp the dangers associated with their specific locations and encourage proactive preparedness for emergencies.

With the support of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Club Nets has implemented this system with the goal of facilitating effective evacuation actions by residents during critical situations.

Key Features of the System

The newly introduced disaster prevention capabilities include:

• - Real-time Hazard Maps: Utilizing GPS data, the system provides users with immediate updates on flood risks (tsunami, landslides, and flooding) through LINE messaging, customized to their current locations.
• - Flood and Landslide Risk Indicators: The system offers real-time updates on flood and landslide threats across Suzu City via established platforms, ensuring rapid response capability.
• - Real-time Monitoring: Residents can monitor water levels and conditions at local river gauges and cameras, facilitating timely danger assessments and actions.
• - Educational Quizzes: The system features engaging quizzes that educate residents on natural disaster risks, preparedness practices, and appropriate evacuation behaviors.

These services can be easily accessed through the official LINE account for Suzu City, ensuring that vital information is just a message away for all residents.

Future Developments

As digital transformation of public administration and disaster information becomes increasingly crucial, Club Nets is committed to expanding collaboration with various municipalities. Their proprietary tool, CN GovTech, designed for municipal LINE accounts, is adaptable to meet specific needs, and the company is poised to support local authorities across Japan in their digital initiatives.
