Every year Japan Flying Labs takes part in disaster prevention
drills organized by local governments with which our partner
Crisis Mappers Japan has disaster agreement. Japan Flying
Labs demonstrates drone operation and brief our workflow in
case of emergency at the drills. And we give an opportunity to
participants (from kids to adults) to operate a toy drone at the
drills. Japan Flying Labs has taken part in more than ten
disaster prevention drills since August this year in different
cities and regions such as Tokyo, Kanagawa Pref. , Saitama
Pref., Chiba Pref. We had about 100 local community
members at each disaster drill.
Under the Disaster Agreement with local governments, we
provides aerial photo data of disaster affected areas being
collected by drones and publishes ortho mosaic imageries for
mapping in case of disaster. We have the Disaster Agreement
with 27 cities for now.
