Resilire Adds Function to Automatically Match Tsunami Warnings with Company's Supply Chain Locations

Resilire Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuta Tsuda; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") has launched the "Tsunami Impact Assessment Function" as an addition to its supply chain risk management service, "Resilire." This new feature automatically ingests real-time tsunami warning and advisory information released by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) to determine and visualize the impact on supply chain locations.

This enables corporate crisis management personnel to instantly identify "which locations are at what level of risk" during widespread and complex tsunami disasters.

◾️ Background In Japan, preparedness for tsunami risk is one of the top priorities for corporate Business Continuity Planning (BCP). The latest Basic Plan for Disaster Management ( *1 ) by the Cabinet Office strongly emphasizes the need for rapid information dissemination and securing supply chains, learning from the lessons of the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, when a tsunami warning is issued, many companies still rely on the traditional method of manually checking one by one on a map to see "which of their locations are included in the forecast zone." Verifying hundreds to thousands of locations takes an enormous amount of time, delaying initial response actions for life preservation and decision-making to avoid business suspension.

◾️ Features and Characteristics Image of the "Tsunami Impact Assessment Function"

1. Real-time Ingestion of JMA Data Information issued by the JMA, categorized as "Major Tsunami Warning," "Tsunami Warning," and "Tsunami Advisory," is reflected in the system within minutes of issuance, supporting immediate situation assessment.

2. Automatic Assessment of Affected Locations Based on three criteria: "① Tsunami forecast zones defined by the JMA," "② Distance from the coastline," and "③ Estimated inundation depth based on hazard maps," the system automatically assesses the impact level for each location. Since the assessment criteria can be customized for each company, it allows for operation tailored to the specific characteristics and risk tolerance of their own locations.

3. Intuitive Visualization on a Map Locations are color-coded according to the tsunami warning level using the JMA's standard color scheme (purple, red, yellow *2), allowing for an immediate and intuitive understanding of whether a location is within a danger zone.

4. Real-time Display of Tsunami Observation Data In addition to forecasts, the actual observed tsunami height and arrival times can be confirmed in real-time.

5. Response to Compound Disasters Tsunami information can be viewed on the same screen as existing risk information, such as earthquakes, floods, and power outages. Information from earthquake occurrence to tsunami arrival and subsequent secondary damage can be tracked.

6. Disaster Notification Email for Tsunami Events When a tsunami warning is detected, an automatic email notification is sent to users of Resilire. This allows for seamless understanding of the warning status and the situation at affected locations.

7. Automatic Survey Email to Affected Locations A survey to confirm the extent of damage is automatically sent to users at locations where impact is a concern.

*2: Displays using the standard color scheme for "Major Tsunami Warning (purple)," "Tsunami Warning (red)," and "Tsunami Advisory (yellow)" also used in media reports.

◾️ Expected Effects of Implementation Speeding up Initial Response: Reduces manual verification time, enabling prompt evacuation guidance and consideration of alternative production immediately after a warning is issued.

Reducing Risk of Oversight: Comprehensive automatic assessment by the system prevents overlooking the scope of impact.

Improving BCP Effectiveness: Clarifies necessary actions the moment a warning is issued, enhancing response capabilities during emergencies.

Supply Chain Risk Management Service "Resilire" Resilire is a risk management platform that collects, updates, and visualizes information on the upstream supply chain, including tier-2 suppliers, to achieve advanced risk management. It visualizes the supply chain in collaboration with suppliers, detects risk factors (disasters, accidents, geopolitical risks, etc.) in real-time, supports understanding of the impact scope, initial response, and normal-time risk analysis and assessment, thereby strengthening supply chain resilience. It contributes to enhancing the supply systems of many manufacturing industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and automotive. Service Site: https://www.resilire.jp/
