[IoT Related] Tokushima Prefecture, Department of Land Development, River Disaster Prevention Division: The "FY2020 IoT Rain Gauge Installation Project" has commenced.

Starting from November 2020, the Tokushima Prefecture Department of Land Development and Disaster Prevention has launched the "2020 Fiscal Year IoT Rain Gauge Installation Project." This project is positioned as a detailed rain information provision initiative, which includes: 1) Installing IoT rain gauges at facilities for vulnerable populations within sediment disaster warning areas to provide rain information to facilities, residents, and municipalities, thereby promoting appropriate evacuations; 2) Utilizing IoT rain gauges allows for the use of LPWA and installation at existing facilities, significantly reducing communication and installation costs (communication costs reduced by over 1/100, installation costs reduced by over 1/10); 3) Strongly supporting the formulation of evacuation plans and the implementation of evacuation drills for facilities serving vulnerable populations. This groundbreaking project aims to protect the lives of residents from sediment disasters through the integration of "area designation," "rain information provision," and "drill implementation." We are extremely honored that our IoT rain observation system has been adopted for this project, and we are committed to tackling this responsibility with renewed determination. We will sequentially install the systems on the rooftops or on the grounds of 60 facilities across the prefecture, including schools, care houses, community centers, and hospitals.
