"Saigai Map" Adds Disaster Risk Check Function for Real Estate Purchases ── Instantly Determines Earthquake, Flood, and Landslide Risks by Address Input

Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) is pleased to announce the addition of a disaster risk check function for real estate purchases to its AI disaster risk score diagnosis service "Saigai Map" (https://saigaimap.xyz).

Real Estate Purchases and Disaster Risk

Real estate is the biggest purchase in life for many people. However, when considering a purchase, there are limited means to systematically check the disaster risk of the land. Hazard maps are published by each local government, but it is difficult to make a comprehensive judgment as it is necessary to check different maps for each type of risk, such as earthquakes, floods, sediment disasters, tsunamis, and storm surges.

In the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in January 2024, economic damage was estimated to have reached 2.2 trillion yen (Source: Mitsubishi Research Institute). Pre-understanding disaster risks is becoming increasingly important from the perspective of asset preservation.

Overview of New Function

The newly added disaster risk check function for real estate purchases comprehensively determines the following risks by simply entering an address.

1. Earthquake RiskEvaluates the likelihood of shaking based on earthquake motion prediction maps, distance from active faults, and liquefaction potential.

2. Flood RiskBased on hazard map information for river flooding, it displays whether the area falls within an assumed inundation area and the estimated inundation depth.

3. Sediment Disaster RiskDetermines whether the area falls within a sediment disaster warning area or special warning area, and evaluates each risk of debris flow, steep slope collapse, and landslide.

4. Tsunami/Storm Surge RiskFor coastal areas, it confirms whether the area falls within an assumed tsunami inundation area and storm surge inundation area.

5. Composite Risk ScoreIntegrates the above risks and displays them as a composite risk score out of 100 points. Details of the score breakdown and each risk can also be checked.

Importance of "Knowing Before You Live"

According to a survey by Kokumin Kyosai Coop, 64.5% of people have never participated in disaster prevention drills (Source: Kokumin Kyosai Coop Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Awareness Survey). Understanding disaster risks "before you live" is the first step in considering preparations for an emergency.

If you are considering purchasing or renting real estate, please check the disaster risk of candidate properties on Saigai Map.
