Major telecommunications companies have begun providing disaster message board services that allow users to register and confirm information about safety on the Internet.
Three major mobile phones from NTT Docomo, KDDI, and Softbank have begun operating “Disaster Message Boards” that allow users to register and confirm safety information in text via the Internet.
The three companies also started a service to deliver safety information to their families by voice using an application such as a smartphone.
Meanwhile, NTT East and West Japan have also started providing “disaster message dials” that allow users to register and confirm voice messages.
To tell your safety, you can register a message by calling 171 from a landline or mobile phone and entering your home or work phone number.
To listen to the registered message, dial 171 and enter the landline number of the person you want to check for safety.
NTT East and West Japan have also started using the “Disaster Message Board / web171” that allows users to register and confirm safety information on the website.
The address is “https://www.web171.jp”.
