BOSAI: Science that Can Save Your Life - Season 1 Episode 34 Ensuring a Safe Journey in Japan
The number of foreign visitors to Japan has been on the rise since the COVID travel restrictions have been lifted. However, many are not fully aware of natural disasters that strike Japan such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons. Now, there are efforts to ensure the safety of visitors during disasters. The newly developed "announcer drone" translates text into 29 languages and instructs people to evacuate while flying. At evacuation centers, local governments are well prepared to notify important information to those who do not understand Japanese, using translation systems developed for emergency situations.
