Automatic email notification of guerrilla rainstorm forecasts: Introduction of short-duration rainfall email function.

Email notification of 'precipitation intensity' updated every 5 minutes, one hour in advance.

In recent years, sudden and localized heavy rainfall caused by phenomena such as linear precipitation zones has increased, making it easy for situations to become "too late to notice" at the site. This is particularly concerning for factories, warehouses, and business locations, where there are many "necessary measures" to take before the rain intensifies, such as: - Installing flood barriers - Checking shutters and drainage systems - Protecting outdoor equipment and materials, and restricting access to areas prone to flooding However, decision-making and communication tend to become personalized, leading to risks of delayed initial responses when the responsible person is absent or during nighttime. Therefore, we recommend the new feature of the natural disaster prevention system ZEROSAI: the "Short-term Rainfall Email Notification." This feature automatically sends an email when the predicted rainfall intensity at registered locations is expected to exceed a pre-set threshold. The aim of the short-term rainfall email notification is simple. The system automatically alerts users to signs of heavy rainfall risk, creating a situation where all relevant parties can act simultaneously. For example, if you set the installation criteria for flood barriers to "predicted rainfall intensity of X or more," you will receive an automatic notification when the threshold is exceeded, thereby reducing waste and delays associated with questions like, "Who will make the decision?" "Who will make the call?" and "Why is everyone acting separately?"
