When a large-scale disaster such as a typhoon occurred, an event was held in Tokyo to think about how to effectively connect volunteers and victims using SNS.
The event was held at Twitter Japan's headquarters in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. In addition to corporate and administrative personnel, meteorological experts participated in the event and announced how to use SNS during disasters.
Among them, the person in charge of “FUKKO DESIGN”, a reconstruction support group made up of private companies and media, links recruitment and applications for part-time jobs, etc. via SNS in the event of typhoon No. 15 that has caused major damage in Chiba Prefecture, etc. He explained that more than 300 people volunteered by using a service called “bosyu”.
In this case, the organization that announced that it was quickly and effectively linked what the victims wanted and volunteering, such as blue sheeting on the roof, felling trees, driving a car, etc. This means that we have launched a volunteer matching service at a new SNS specializing in disaster area support.
“Fukuko Design” Director Mitsuyoshi Kimura said, “It is important not only to wait for the current situation in the disaster area, but also to communicate local needs through SNS.”
