Safety Confirmation Function (BCP)

Weathernews' next-generation safety confirmation service specializing in all types of weather disasters

Comprehensive support for business continuity from pre-disaster to recovery planning, not ending with safety confirmation alone

At Weathernews, several hundred weather professionals predict and monitor disasters 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their forecast accuracy boasts industry No.1 and is extremely reliable information. This service links this advanced forecasting technology with customer facility locations and employee location information to pinpoint the risk at each employee's 'current location.' In addition to earthquakes and tsunamis, it is possible to conduct safety confirmation only for necessary target persons according to customer criteria, including wind/flood disasters that have intensified in recent years.

※ In independent weather forecast accuracy surveys, it has been certified as No.1 in forecast accuracy for three consecutive years among the five major domestic services.(→ Click here for details

Why don't many safety confirmation systems function effectively?

Safety confirmation systems tend to become focused on implementation itself. Dedicated tools used only during disasters often fail to achieve high response rates when needed, remaining limited to aggregating 'I'm safe' responses, and frequently cannot be utilized for business continuity and recovery planning. The cause is that disaster preparedness being separated from daily operations turns BCP into 'something only on paper.'

Whether BCP truly functions is determined not at the time of disaster occurrence, but by 'design in daily operations.'

From a daily-use app directly to safety confirmation. Supporting the entire flow from notification through confirmation to business decisions.

Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, companies have been required to conduct rapid safety confirmation during disasters. However, the scope is not limited to earthquakes alone. A system capable of responding to diversifying and intensifying weather disasters such as tsunamis, typhoons, and linear precipitation zones is necessary. This service utilizes high-precision and high-resolution current conditions and forecast data to implement automatic notifications based on criteria set for each company. It supports proactive responses not only after disaster occurrence, but also from the forecast stage when risks are increasing.

Respond with the same system regardless of disaster type. Prepare for diversifying risks through design in daily operations.

Weathernews realizes 'BCP integrated into daily life.'

Rather than separating it as a dedicated tool, it integrates with a weather app used daily. Based on high-precision forecast and current condition data, during disasters it identifies target persons using location information and consistently supports from notification through safety confirmation to business decisions. This seamless design supports 'BCP integrated into daily life.'

Six Designs for BCP that Functions in the Field

Information Collection for Business Decision-Making

In addition to safety confirmation, collect and visualize on-site damage status and work attendance availability. Support rapid decision-making.

System that Can Continue Even During Communication Failures

Even when communication base stations are down, utilize satellite communication to continue confirmation. Reduce communication disruption risks during large-scale disasters.

Flexible Notification Condition Settings

In addition to earthquakes, notification conditions such as weather warnings, precipitation, wind speed, and distance from typhoons can be configured in detail according to each company's standards and facility characteristics.

Integrated Dashboard for Centralized Management

Visualize safety status, disaster risks, and facility information simultaneously. Prevent information fragmentation.

From Future Disaster Forecasting to Recovery Planning

We support planning detailed assessments and recovery plans on what timeline after a disaster occurs, based on forecast information.

Based on actual location information rather than pre-registered 'residential or work locations'

To conduct more reliable safety confirmation only within necessary ranges, we issue various disaster information notifications in conjunction with location information.

How should you incorporate BCP integrated into daily life into your company? Please feel free to contact us regarding specific operational design and implementation methods. We will propose optimal designs tailored to your company's operational structure and facility characteristics.
