Developed “Loss Prevention Dashboard” for local governments, which clearly and centrally visualizes real-time weather data in relation to disaster risks, flood prediction data at leastmore than 30 hours aheadin advance, and post-disaster damage estimation using AI, and supports regional loss prevention/mitigation.

Launched a new loss prevention/mitigation and reduction support system through “Weather/Disaster Data x AI” (in Japanese only)

Publicly available cmap.dev website, conceived from industry-academia joint research by Aon Group Japan and Yokohama National University, can predict the potential number of buildings damaged by typhoon, heavy rain, or earthquake. The website can be accessed from any device, computer or smartphone, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It provides forecasts for each municipality of the potential number of buildings damaged and the rate of damage caused prior to typhoon (up to 7 days before landfall), and immediately after heavy rain or earthquake strikes. The website can also display flood, landslide and tsunami hazard maps as well as information on warning levels (equivalent to 3, 4, 5), evacuation areas and shelters nationwide.
In August 2020, the cmap.dev website function which sends out emergency information in the event of a disaster was released as an app.
In June 2021, a function was added to display social media information relating to weather, disasters and lifelines, analyzed by AI, on the cmap.dev website.
In August 2021, evacuation information was expanded with a function for visualizing congestion information on evacuation shelters in some local governments.
And, in March 2022, barrier-free information which can be utilized for safe, secure and convenient evacuation in the event of a disaster was added to the app.

Through a joint research project with the Prefectural University of Hiroshima on an approach to evacuation in the event of a natural disaster, the “Evacuation Insurance Plan” was provided; this consists of summarized effective support measures for establishing a scheme, which enables rapid evacuation of persons requiring support* in the event of disasters.

*Elderly and disabled persons, etc. who have difficulty evacuating themselves or living in evacuation shelters.

Started providing “evacuation insurance plan” to support development of an evacuation scheme when disaster occurs. (in Japanese only)

Identification of location risks for companies and other organizations through comprehensive collection and organization of hazard information on earthquakes, wind and water disasters, volcanic eruptions, lightning strikes, snow accumulation, and more.

(1) Assessing inundation risks by identifying locations with a high risk of inundation based on hazard maps
(2) Simulations to evaluate inundation conditions in the vicinity of target sites with a fine mesh
(3) Training simulated for before and past wind and water disasters hit.
(4) Comprehensive support menu consisting of advice and support for simulated training on identifying dangerous areas through on-site checks, implementation of countermeasures and other actions

Simulations of slope failures at individual sites based on largest recorded and potential largest rainfall scenarios are used for risk assessments

A 3D model is prepared using 3D CAD based on drawings and exterior photographs and a report including visualized wind load on the building and wind flow during strong winds is submitted, with the surrounding terrain and buildings taken into consideration. In order to reduce the damage caused by strong winds, it can be used to examine measures for buildings and outdoor equipment that should be taken daily.

Providing a website that enables automatic judgments on the timing of various responses and decisions (warning stage judgments) by acquiring various types of information related to water disasters at multiple sites collectively and in real time.

In line with the 2021 revision of the Hazard Map of Mt. Fuji, which had not been revised for about seven years, a service was launched to comprehensively support identification of risks relating to volcanic eruption, emergency responses, business continuity measures, training in normal times, etc.

Launch of service relating to volcanic eruption measures

In collaboration with Weather News Co., Ltd., the largest weather information company in Japan, we provide policyholders of corporate fire insurance (Property Master, Business Keeper), construction insurance (Business Construction Guard), liability insurance (Business Protector), or transport insurance (Full Line, Support One) with the following services for free:
・Customers can use an exclusive website to access at any time weather information and forecasts for up to five preset locations
・Customers can select locations that are to be monitored and alert e-mail messages are sent out to customer-stipulated e-mail addresses when, for instance, rainfall, wind speed or snowfall forecasts exceed predetermined values or when lightning strikes have been observed within a predetermined distance from monitored locations.

In response to growing customer interest in flood and earthquake compensation due to the more frequent occurrence of natural disasters in recent years, we are now proposing “preparing” against natural disasters. We are promoting initiatives to remind customers of the importance of “being prepared,” not only after but also before a disaster occurs.

We provide smartphone apps for use during disasters and are endeavoring to help our users ensure their safety and security when large-scale natural disasters strike.
Apps are provided for anyone to use free of charge, with real-time push notifications of disaster prevention information, such as weather information and evacuation instructions, and functions that support prompt information gathering.

*Apps can be used free of charge; provided, however, that the communication fee for using the apps shall be user-paid.

・In January 2019, we launched the “Mimamoru” dashcam-based automobile insurance which encourages customers to drive more safely by utilizing the latest telematics technology with out our original communicable dash cameras. In addition to the video recording function that comes with the dash cams, we provide safe driving assistance warnings that alert drivers to driving conditions, as well as a “guardian service” that shares information, such as driving habits, with family members and others living apart from the driver. Furthermore, when the dash cam detects a large impact in the unlikely event of an accident, the location of the vehicle is relayed to a dedicated call center. The operator can then make contact with the driver to offer assistance such as initial accident response and dispatching a recovery vehicle to the scene. (MS) (AD)
 ・In January 2022, we launched “Mimamoru” premium dashcam-based automobile insurance with the highest standards of functions/services in the industry.

Using robotic processing automation for operations such as registering accident claims received via a dedicated website and confirming contract information, and automating the simple administrative tasks, we have developed a system that allows us to assign more personnel to higher value-added work, such as customer service and damage surveys during large-scale disasters.

We have started carrying out damage investigations remotely with appraisers, etc. working via video connection. With the pandemic, people are required more than ever to avoid situations such as closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings, and it is crucial to create the conditions whereby people are not gathered in areas with high rates of infection. This survey conducted remotely can minimize the risk of infection with customers and employees.
