The Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation “TSUNAGARI” is introducing tools that are useful for disaster prevention, as part of our “Disaster Prevention Topics.”

 

This app if useful for both everyday disaster preparation and for when a disaster actually occurs.

The Disaster Preparedness Tokyo app is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's official disaster preparedness app.

                   

 

With this app you can:

(1) Learn about disaster preparedness

(2) Stay prepared in your everyday life

(3) Check disaster information

 

(1) Learn about disaster preparedness

In the app you can view the disaster preparedness booklets created by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government ("Disaster Readiness Guide" and "Disaster Preparedness Tokyo") and can also have fun by learning about disaster preparedness via quizzes.

 

(2) Stay prepared in your everyday life

Find out what you can do to prepare your home for disasters, and you can also use maps and images to find out where to evacuate to and what routes to take in the event of a disaster.

 

(3) Check disaster information

On the disaster prevention maps in the app, you can view evacuation sites, shelters, and places that are dangerous during heavy rain.

If you use the "My Area" function to register the town where you live or work, then you will also receive disaster information.

 

In the app there is also a lot of useful information about disaster preparedness and for when a disaster actually occurs.

The app can be viewed in Japanese, Easy Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean (some content is only available in Japanese).
