GeoTechnologies, supports disaster prevention measures with our map data.
Japan has been repeatedly affected by a number of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, heavy rains, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions. According to a 2014 white paper on disaster prevention, approximately 20% of the world’s magnitude 6.0 or higher earthquakes occurred in Japan. Since predicting when and where a disaster will occur is very difficult, making preparations on a regular basis is important. GeoTechnologies’s map data can support a variety of disaster prevention measures.
