Symposium on “Utilization of Digital Technology in Future Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, in Housing, Architecture, and Urban Fields” Hosted by National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) and Building Research Institute (BRI)
| Purpose: The future vision of disaster prevention and mitigation in Society 5.0, promoted by the Cabinet Office, is set in the context of (a) increasing and intensifying wind and water disasters resulting from climate change, and (b) the heightened risk of massive earthquakes such as those occurring directly under the capital and in the Nankai Trough. The vision calls for "finely predicting, collecting, and analyzing disaster and disaster victim information before and after a disaster, considering the characteristics of the region," and "enabling personalized disaster prevention and evacuation support, quick rescue and material provision by local governments, and emergency responses, in collaboration with private companies, based on the results of information analysis." It is expected that digital technology will be applied in the formulation of these responses. | ||||
