In order to prepare for wind and flood disasters, it is important to create an evacuation plan in advance that suits the circumstances of each and every Tokyo resident, such as the conditions in their area of ​​residence and their family composition. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government provides “Tokyo My Timeline” to support the creation of such plans.
We have recently added a new function to the app version of “Tokyo My Timeline” that explains meteorological terminology, etc. (Figure 1). We are also pleased to announce that we have created a new video (Figure 2) to promote the importance of creating an evacuation plan in advance.
