geoBingAn’s Innovative Application in the Mt. Fuji Disaster Drill

In the latter half of 2024, a comprehensive disaster drill simulating a volcanic eruption was conducted in the Mt. Fuji area. geoBingAn, as a core technological tool, showcased its powerful utility in disaster data collection and information sharing, providing robust support for the smooth execution of the exercise. The drill simulated volcanic eruption and pyroclastic flow scenarios near the 5th Station of Mt. Fuji, involving around 200 personnel from relevant organizations, including the Fujikawaguchiko Town Government, Yamanashi Prefecture Government, police, and fire departments.

 

During the drill, geoBingAn demonstrated its core functions in data integration and visualization. Participants used the LINE application to quickly upload photos, videos, and other disaster-related information from the field. geoBingAn instantly consolidated this data and integrated volcanic eruption warnings from meteorological agencies to produce intuitive visual outputs. The platform’s real-time disaster distribution maps and evacuation route suggestions enabled decision-makers to quickly grasp the overall situation and formulate effective response strategies. This approach not only reduced learning costs but also significantly improved the speed and accuracy of information transmission.

Moreover, geoBingAn’s application extended beyond data collection and analysis. In this drill, the platform incorporated multilingual support for foreign tourists, ensuring users of different languages could promptly understand evacuation information. This enhanced the comprehensiveness and practicality of the drill.

 

Throughout the exercise, geoBingAn’s outstanding features provided participating organizations with real-time and accurate disaster information, validating its potential in complex disaster scenarios. Toshiaki Kajiwara, a section chief from the Fujiyoshida Police Station, commented that the drill effectively demonstrated the practicality of advanced technologies, including geoBingAn, and plans to further integrate such tools into future disaster responses.

 

This Mt. Fuji drill not only reaffirmed the reliability of geoBingAn’s technology but also introduced new possibilities for disaster management. Through its deep integration with LINE and multifunctional data processing capabilities, geoBingAn proved its potential as a critical tool for disaster response and set a new standard for disaster management in other regions. This exercise highlighted that geoBingAn is not merely a technological product but a key solution for achieving more efficient and safer disaster management.
