Disaster Risk Reduction App “Fukuoka Bosai Navi Mamoru-kun” Now Available!
Since the torrential rains in northern Kyushu in 2017, Fukuoka Prefecture has suffered six disasters in five consecutive years.
The situation is similar across the country and it is now becoming increasingly important to be prepared for disasters and to take appropriate action in case of an emergency.
In light of this, we have developed the “Fukuoka Bosai Navi Mamoru-kun” smartphone app by enhancing our current tool for providing disaster risk reduction (DRR) information, “Bosai Mail Mamoru-kun,” to facilitate access to information on weather, evacuation, and other topics.
Newly enhanced features include:
・ Providing weather warnings, evacuation information, etc. for your current location and registered municipalities in the prefecture
・ Providing necessary information on evacuation shelters on the map in an easy-to-understand manner
・ Providing illustrations of actions to be taken in case of an emergency
In addition, the large text display and easy operation make the app friendly to everyone, from children to the elderly.
It is no exaggeration to say that DRR information is now a necessity in our daily lives. This is definitely a useful DRR information tool.
We encourage everyone to take this opportunity to register.
