Nigedoko checks whether your evacuation destination fits the disaster
A free Japanese disaster-preparedness tool that compares addresses with hazard maps and 115,866 designated emergency evacuation locations.
Field notes
Nigedoko combines Japan's designated emergency evacuation-place data with hazard-map layers so users can inspect escape options separately for flooding, inland rain, landslides, storm surge, tsunami, earthquakes, fires, and volcanoes. Its interface distinguishes places for immediate danger from shelters intended for continued stays, and calculates approximate distance and walking time. A household planning card records family needs such as children, pets, older relatives, and medication, then supports sharing, printing, and a one-year review reminder. The site warns that municipal updates and actual opening decisions must be checked separately.
