Purposes and Conceptof this Application

4

1. One of the Trans-media approach ofJ-SHIS. We provide PSHM not only in theweb, but also in applications to enhance
usefulness.
2. It can be able to know how much risk is in
there (by hazard source), anytime,anywhere. (But in Japan ONLY, sorry!)
3. It will announce theJ-SHIS API is now available. API will be
used by many following applications.

About J-SHISBACKGROUND

Background
1. Paper hazard map → spread out for all
houses in some municipalities. But it would
not be used so far and be trashed directly.
2. Number of smartphone user grows in allover the world.

Target user・Not only for Researcher,but also for residents, municipalities,governments, construction companies,insurance companies, educators…and so on.
・For J-SHIS users already use in the Website.
