    (Updated September 16, 2026)

    From Wednesday, July 29 to Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the Digital Assistance Team for Disaster Response (D-CERT) was dispatched to help smooth the response to disasters in the disaster-affected areas. This was done by proposing a menu of digital support measures that are considered necessary based on the needs of the disaster-affected areas and fleshing out the details of this support.
    Since September 16, we have continued to provide support online and elsewhere.

  • 1. We proposed a tool to improve the input efficiency of the new supply system (B-PLo), in which employees of disaster-stricken local governments share information necessary for procurement and transportation of supplies.
  • 2. For guests staying on the private vessel "Hakuo II" leased by Ministry of Defense, we have developed and operated a dedicated application to streamline the reception procedure at the time of temporary disembarkation.
  • 3. From August 30, we have also implemented efficiency support using a dedicated app for the reception procedure at the time of boarding and disembarking
  • We will continue to work with Kumamoto Prefecture and others to provide support that will lead to improved convenience for disaster victims and a reduction in the administrative burden on the ground.
