Disaster Preparedness DX Joint Research, Sponsors, and Speaking Companies Now Being Recruited; New “Disaster Prevention Volunteer System” to Be Launched
Summary
An industry association and Osaka's Abeno Disaster Prevention Center began recruiting joint-research partners, sponsors, distribution and VR/AI content partners, presenters, and volunteers ahead of a May 28 kickoff for the Future Disaster Prevention Collaborative Lab. They seek collaborators to co-develop disaster digital教材, 2D tags, VR/Matterport and AI content, GPS-enabled safety devices, and app integrations to move beyond awareness into concrete products and public-service implementations. The initiative also launches a disaster volunteer system to train people for event operations, filming, outreach, and survey/analysis support, with future certification considered. Organizers target IT firms, content producers, manufacturers and public-sector bodies to scale adoption and run PoCs and demonstrations.
