Outline

In Japan, disaster risk communication using Web GIS, such as “Overlapping Hazard Maps” and “Kikikuru”, is being promoted. As the risk of natural disasters increases, the effective utilization of real-time weather and DRR information is required even for schools to make emergency evacuation decisions since schools are facilities used by children who are regarded as people with special needs in the event of a disaster.
However, there are many challenges in utilizing this Web-GIS-based information in a tense situation. In this session, we will invite guests from a digital powerhouse, Taiwan, National Cheng Kung University, and the Ministry of Education of Taiwan, to share their efforts in disaster risk communication and consider measures to promote disaster risk communication in schools further using Web GIS.
