How we created the hazard map

Are you prepared for natural disasters? Currently, as climate change due to global warming progresses, natural disasters are occurring frequently. Japan is no exception, with an increasing number of disasters that threaten our lives, such as typhoons, floods caused by heavy rain, and landslides. Therefore, it is important to prepare for more natural disasters in the future to protect our lives. Therefore, we created an original hazard map for Koebara Town. I hope this hazard map will be of some help to you.
