Resilience tech startup Spectee Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kenjiro Murakami; hereinafter "Spectee") is pleased to announce that it has concluded an agreement on "Collaboration for Disaster Response with Mirai Kyosei Disaster Relief Map and Spectee Pro" with the Graduate School of Human Sciences, Osaka University, the Osaka University Social Solutions Initiative (SSI), and the Regional Information Co-creation Center (RICCC).
■ Background of the Collaboration
In recent years, the utilization of real-time disaster information disseminated on social media has become crucial in response to frequent landslides and river floods. While social media posts during disasters are effective due to their immediacy and overwhelming volume of information, it is essential to obtain accurate information as unverified information (fake news, rumors) can be rampant.
The "Mirai Kyosei Disaster Relief Map" (abbreviation: Saikyu Map), an intellectual property of Osaka University and socially implemented by RICCC, manages approximately 280,000 facility data and over 300,000 past evacuation center opening information, having supported local government disaster response to date.
The collaboration was formed with the aim of further strengthening the disaster prevention capabilities of local governments by integrating the information each entity possesses.
■ Anticipated Effects of the Collaboration
This agreement will enable the provision of information combining reliable on-site information from local government officials and disaster prevention specialists with accurate information analyzed and extracted by Spectee using AI technology from SNS and other sources.
It is expected that the quality of information that Spectee can deliver and provide will dramatically improve by strengthening cooperation with "human" information rooted in the community, beyond just social media and weather information.
Furthermore, through this collaboration, we will support local governments in building a system that can more effectively utilize local human resources such as "disaster prevention specialists," thereby contributing to the further sophistication of local government disaster response and rapid situation assessment.
■ About the Signing Ceremony
To conclude the agreement, a signing ceremony will be held as follows.
Date and Time: Thursday, April 30th, 16:00〜16:30
Location: Learning Commons, 2nd floor, North Building, Graduate School of Human Sciences, Osaka University
Media Application: Please apply via the designated Web registration form by 16:00 on Monday, April 27th.
