The Current State of Disaster Prevention x Data <Hi-Lights, Founded Two Years Ago>
Yamada, the host of LBMA Japan, and Kawashima will be discussing the theme of LBMA Japan Disaster Prevention x Data. Under the slogan "Increase the number of people who can be saved as a matter of course," Yamada is working to improve evacuation simulations and evacuation plans using people flow data. However, Yamada will share his current situation, where the disaster prevention market has high barriers to entry, and local governments, in particular, struggle to secure sufficient budgets for data utilization in both normal and emergency situations. While the number of solutions for information collection and visualization is increasing, damage prediction and simulation remain scarce, posing a challenge for the current state of data and disaster prevention. Yamada will discuss new possibilities for the disaster prevention business, including BCP demand, economic circulation during disasters, and the systematization of volunteer management!
Speaker：Kozue Yamada, CEO of Hi-Lights Co., Ltd.
