■ Overview of MSI Emergency Navigation

Evacuation Center Function
Press the “Search by Map” button activates the smartphone’s GPS function to get local information and display surrounding evacuation centers. It also includes the altitudes of evacuation centers in lieu of tsunamis.
The routes from the user’s location to each evacuation center are also displayed. Selecting on an evacuation center also displays its address, telephone number and other information.

Camera (AR) Function
The GPS and camera (AR function) display the direction of evacuation centers in landscape mode. Even in darkness, directions to evacuation centers is easy and comforting! Additionally, once an evacuation center data has been stored in a smartphone, the AR can still be used even if telecommunication services are interrupted. The compass can also be used.

Disaster Know-how
Under the supervision and guidance of the InterRisk Research Institute & Consulting Company of the MS&AD Insurance Group, information about what to do during an earthquake, typhoon or other large disaster is available for quick reference and peace-of-mind even if telecommunication services are interrupted.

Person Finder Registration & Confirmation Functionality
From evacuation center details screen, users can easily register with services such as Google’s “Person Finder” to help secure information on the safety and whereabouts of loved ones. Groups such as whole families that register in advance as same group members can then check on the safety of all members at the time of a disaster. To use the service, it is recommended that families or group members indicate in advance “If we get separated during a disaster, let’s register with ‘Person Finder’ and confirm our safety and whereabouts.”
