In response to the recent frequent occurrence of disasters, the program named “strengthening national resilience (disaster resilience/disaster mitigation)” was adopted in FY2018 as one of the Strategic Innovation Creation Program (SIP) by the Cabinet Office. In this project, we will make full-scale use of satellite observation data, through the constellation of satellite observations and utilization technology that uses multiple satellite instruments for disaster resilience. The heavy mission of this project is to provide disaster information by satellite to the disaster response headquarters within 2 hours after the disaster. This is because in the event of a large-scale disaster at the national level, the first response headquarters meeting will be held in about two hours after the disaster.
Then we are developing a system that enables targeting the observation area by analyzing the meteorological information, the prediction of flooding possibility simulator and the ordinally observed satellite data. Here, we will pick up the case of Typhoon No. 19 for an example that occurred in 2019 and introduce the processing results.
