NEC participated in the 2024 International Fire and Disaster Management Forum held in Indonesia on February 12 and 13, 2025 by Japan Fire and Disaster Management Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. At this forum, NEC gave a presentation on its disaster prevention solutions that have been implemented and operated in Japan and the latest disaster damage assessment technology using large-scale language models (LLM) and image analysis and exhibited at a booth.

In recent years, natural disasters such as torrential rains and major earthquakes have become more frequent and severe in the world. Indonesia, where this year's Forum would be held, is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. NEC has a proven record of accomplishment in disaster management, including the introduction of an earthquake early warning system for the Japan Meteorological Agency, and we believe that NEC's disaster prevention solutions will contribute to Indonesia's disaster prevention and mitigation measures.

NEC's advanced technology for assessing damage using LLM and image analysis technology (Note 1) attracted the interest of visitors. NEC's "LLM/Image Analysis Technology" helps to determine the extent and location of damage quickly and accurately from various images collected during a disaster to accelerate prompt response activities. (Note 2)

NEC will continue to contribute to the realization of safer, more secure, and more comfortable societies around the world by deploying disaster prevention solutions and advanced technologies that have been proven in operation in Japan to overseas markets.
