UPWARD, Inc. (Location: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takehiro Kaneki, URL: https://upward.jp) announced today at the Local Revitalization SDGs International Forum 2021, hosted by the Cabinet Office, that its disaster recovery support (disaster investigation support) for the 2020 Kumamoto heavy rain disaster has been selected as a best practice for solving regional issues.

The selected best practices are among the 5 out of 96 cases ( https://future-city.go.jp/platform/case/) listed on the Local Revitalization SDGs Public-Private Partnership Platform.
Japan is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, and improving resilience to disasters is an important social issue. Disaster investigations in disaster-stricken areas are accompanied by various difficulties, but by utilizing UPWARD's location information technology, it is possible to efficiently conduct disaster investigations.
UPWARD will continue to work with local governments to contribute to improving Japan's resilience.
We are grateful that our case has been selected this time. We typically develop and sell services that link location information to CRM (Customer Relationship Management) as a "business activity partner" for field workers and essential workers.
In addition to the case of on-site investigation work during disasters that we introduced this time, there are many tasks where visits are indispensable even during the COVID-19 pandemic. UPWARD will continue to contribute to solving social issues by supporting these types of visit operations, and we hope to grow as a company and as a service.
