Description

  The present invention relates to an emergency information providing system that provides alarm information such as floods, storm surges, and tsunamis to a mobile phone with a positioning function or a user computer via the Internet or a mobile network.

Conventionally, evacuation methods for floods, storm surges, and tsunamis have been distributed by local governments in advance through public relations papers, but you should look at the publicity papers depending on where you are when floods, storm surges, or tsunamis actually occur. There are many cases that cannot be done.
Also, depending on the disaster situation, there is a high possibility that the planned evacuation site will be replaced, and it was difficult to obtain the latest information.
In addition, when flood / storm surge / tsunami warnings are actually issued, communication means such as evacuation will be communicated using sirens and broadcasting facilities that are set up in the surrounding area, and patrols by police and fire department staff, etc. Done by phone call.
In these methods, the accuracy and speed of information are insufficient, and the information content is uniform, so the degree of urgency is not fully communicated depending on the disaster point. There was no way to get information.
