" summary

A prototype low-cost web hazard-map system for community use is presented, built to let local neighborhood groups share disaster-risk and preparedness information. It focuses on delivering government-produced hazard datasets (used by prefectures and municipalities) in an accessible web-mapping form so residents can better recognize local flood and wind hazards and coordinate evacuation and countermeasure information.
