<Local Government Disaster Support> Demo Version of 'My Hinanjo DX Lite', an Evacuation Center Management System Requiring No Personal Information, to Launch on April 27 (Mon)

The Public Innovation Business Group of G-Place Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagaokakyo City, Kyoto; President: Hidehisa Ayabe; hereinafter 'the Company'), which provides business support for local governments, has developed 'My Hinanjo DX Lite', an evacuation center management system that enables the digitization of evacuation center management and operations without the need for personal information management. Following the completion of development, a 'Demo Version' that allows local governments nationwide to verify actual operations for one month (extensions negotiable) will be available starting Monday, April 27, 2026. Service Details and Application: https://locapo.jp/service/myhinanjodx/ * 'My Hinanjo DX Lite' comes in a 'Demo Version' (1 month) where all functions can be trialed, and a 'Free Version' (indefinite) which limits functions to displaying evacuation center maps and managing 'open/closed' statuses. The trial period for the 'Demo Version' can be extended upon request.

However, many local governments still rely on 'paper registries' and 'phone calls' for evacuation center reception, highlighting the following challenges: 1) Information Delay: Headquarters cannot grasp the congestion status of each evacuation center in real-time. 2) Burden on On-site Staff: Interviewing and writing on behalf of residents takes time, causing reception congestion. 3) Barriers to Implementation: Advanced systems, such as My Number integration, take time to implement from the perspective of cost and personal information protection. To solve these challenges, the Company developed 'My Hinanjo DX Lite'. We will begin offering the 'Demo Version' on Monday, April 27, so that local government personnel can confirm various functions and actual operations. In addition, we will offer a 'Free Version' with limited functions for municipalities that want to start by simply visualizing the opening and congestion status of evacuation centers. By providing two plans, we aim to support flexible digitization tailored to the needs of each municipality. ■ Key Benefits: 3 Features of 'My Hinanjo DX Lite' Accelerating Disaster Prevention DX This system has the following features to minimize the operational burden on-site while enabling swift initial responses. Feature / Details 1) No Personal Information Required (*) Specializes only in aggregating attributes (gender, age group, etc.). No consultation with personal information protection councils is required, minimizing legal and psychological hurdles. (*Additional personal information items necessary for operation can be added via custom settings.) 2) Overwhelming Cost Performance No dedicated terminals or network construction required. Maintenance costs can be reduced to less than a tenth compared to traditional My Number-compatible systems. 3) Convenience for Both Residents and Staff Residents complete reception simply by scanning a QR code. Because the functions are simple, anyone can use the digital reception without training, and staff can aggregate and monitor the number of evacuees in real-time from the management screen.

Both will be available starting Monday, April 27. 1) Demo Version (Full Function Trial) You can try all the functions identical to the production version for one month. It is ideal for use in actual evacuation drills or as a demo for explanations to the assembly or finance department. Please consult us if a period extension is needed. 2) Free Version (Map Publication) Provides an indefinite function to publish the opening and congestion status of evacuation centers to residents on a web map. There is no usage fee. ■ Future Prospects Through 'My Hinanjo DX Lite', the Company provides 'preparedness starting today' against disasters that may occur tomorrow, even for local governments with limited budgets and resources. Moving forward, we plan to sequentially update the system reflecting feedback from the field, such as family bulk registration functions and integration with stockpile management, thereby continuously supporting the rapid disaster prevention DX of local governments in response to the recent intensification of natural disasters. ■ Recent Related Releases October 22, 2025 Revealed that approximately 95% of municipalities nationwide have already distributed official apps https://g-place.co.jp/news/n-412/ ■ About G-Place Co., Ltd.: Company History and Business Domains Started business in 1968 as 'Japan Green Pax'.
