Service

Overview

After a disaster, we estimate the damage to individual buildings based on acquired satellite data.
The analysis results are visualized on a map, providing local governments and relevant agencies with an overview of the damage. This becomes a valuable tool for devising prompt and accurate response strategies.

Benefits

This service can be used differently depending on the phase of the disaster:
(After Disaster - Initial Response)

  • Estimate building collapse damage and quickly identify the hardest-hit areas.

  • Help prioritize rescue and aid operations.

  • Contribute to efficient shelter and support center placement, as well as optimize rescue routes.

(Disaster Response to Recovery Phase)

  • Understand the extent of building collapse, enabling estimates of disaster waste volumes and the best methods for disposal.

  • Aid in decisions regarding the recycling and reuse of materials from affected buildings.

(Normal Times - Prevention and Mitigation)

  • Use past disaster data to identify high-risk areas and provide feedback for urban infrastructure planning.

  • Serve as foundational data for sustainable city development and disaster-resistant city planning.

As shown, this service can be used throughout the entire disaster response cycle, from initial life-saving action to post-disaster reconstruction of cities.

Service Flow

Implementation

不法投棄_D.png

Align disaster response operations

in advance:

During service implementation, discuss with relevant agencies the type of disaster (earthquake, flood, etc.), its scale, target analysis area, criteria for judgment, and data transfer methods, and set operational conditions in advance.

Delivery

Provide analysis results swiftly upon disaster occurrence:

When a disaster actually occurs, based on prior discussions, we will provide the results of the building collapse damage assessment promptly.

  • Classify reusable materials using collapse analysis results

  • Improve material recovery efficiency

  • Utilize material banks to utilize reused materials in urban development, new construction and repair projects

  • Reduce waste & CO2 emissions

Target:  Demolition, construction, recycling, material suppliers, government (disaster recovery)​
