Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro Ward, Tokyo) is pleased to announce the addition of a disaster risk check feature for real estate purchases to its AI disaster risk score diagnosis service, "Saigaimap" (https://saigaimap.xyz).
### Real Estate Purchases and Disaster Risk
Real estate is often the biggest purchase in a person's life. However, when considering a purchase, systematic means of checking the disaster risks of a property are limited. Hazard maps are published by each municipality, but checking different maps for each type of risk such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, tsunamis, and storm surges makes comprehensive judgment difficult.
Estimates suggest that the economic damage from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in January 2024 reached 2.2 trillion yen (Source: Mitsubishi Research Institute). Grasping disaster risks in advance is increasingly important from the perspective of asset preservation.
### Overview of New Features
The newly added disaster risk check function for real estate purchases comprehensively assesses the following risks simply by entering an address:
1. **Earthquake Risk:** Evaluates the likelihood of shaking based on earthquake motion prediction maps, distance to active faults, and potential for liquefaction.
2. **Flood Risk:** Based on hazard map information of river flooding, it indicates whether the area falls within projected inundation zones and the estimated inundation depth.
3. **Landslide Risk:** Determines applicability to landslide warning zones and special warning zones, assessing risks of debris flows, steep slope collapses, and landslides.
4. **Tsunami and Storm Surge Risk:** For coastal areas, it checks applicability to tsunami inundation zones and storm surge inundation zones.
5. **Composite Risk Score:** Integrates the above risks and displays them as a composite risk score out of 100. The breakdown of the score and details of each risk can also be confirmed.
### The Importance of Knowing "Before You Live There"
According to a survey by Kokumin Kyosai coop, 64.5% of people have never participated in disaster drills (Source: Kokumin Kyosai coop Survey on Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Awareness). Understanding disaster risks "before you live there" is the first step in considering preparations for emergencies.
Those considering purchasing or renting real estate are encouraged to check the disaster risks of their prospective properties on Saigaimap.
