3D Amagumo Weather vs NERV Disaster Prevention Usage & Stats

With this app, you can eliminate the worry of "guerrilla heavy rain" and "thunderstorm" at once! （“Amagumo” is an expression of rain clouds in Japan.） "It rained a while ago, but suddenly heavy rain started." This kind of phenomenon often occurs in summer in Japan. In Japan, this kind of sudden heavy rain is called "guerrilla heavy rain (Gerira gōu)." Accurate forecasts are difficult and cannot be known in advance from the weather forecast. In this "3D Amagumo Weather" application, the clouds observed by the world's most advanced "phased array weather radar" are displayed in 3D. This "Phased Array Meteorological Radar" is a radar that can respond to the observation of rapidly developing cumulonimbus clouds that cause localized heavy rain and tornado, among other radars. In other words, you can quickly catch the "guerrilla heavy rain" from the omen! "3D Amagumo Weather" displays not only rain clouds but also lightning in 3D. You can also check the intensity of rain with clouds and colors on the map. Therefore, you can check not only "guerrilla heavy rain" but also normal rain and typhoon thunderstorm. "3D Amagumo Weather" is a free app. It catches the forerunner of "guerrilla heavy rain" that could not be predicted accurately until now, and notifies the danger in real time. Please use it for avoiding guerrilla heavy rain not only at music festivals and outdoor events but also at fireworks festivals, festivals, sports events, leisure, sales, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------ ◆ Features of this app ------------------------------------------------------------ ① "Free and the world's most advanced" Experience the world's most advanced weather technology for free. * Japan patent pending, design right acquired ② "3D representation of rain clouds and guerrilla rain, a real sense of crisis" Until now, 2D rain cloud radar has been the mainstream, but by seeing 3D rain cloud radar, it becomes easier to feel the development of rain clouds in a realistic manner, and it becomes a trigger for action to escape from heavy rain. ③ “For the first time in the world, 10 minutes before guerrilla heavy rain forecast” By utilizing actual accurate weather observation data, it has become possible to predict difficult guerrilla rains from 10 minutes ago. ④ "Immediate notice of guerrilla heavy rain" If you catch the danger of heavy rain, we will send you a PUSH notification immediately. In the past four years of proof experiments, the success rate was 80% or more. ⑤ "Forecasts up to 15 hours ahead" In addition to the past and present, you can now view forecasts up to 15 hours ahead for free and without registration! (Ground echo only) By utilizing the world's most advanced "phased array weather radar," the observation time of "rain clouds that cause heavy rain on guerrillas" can be reduced from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. This is the first case in Japan. Not only guerrilla heavy rain, but also heavy rainfall caused by typhoons can be observed, which is a useful technology for future disaster prevention and mitigation. ------------------------------------------------------------ ◆ Precautions when using the app ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Since it has the world's most advanced technology, we recommend using iOS 10.0 or later. 2. The data usage range of the phased array weather radar is limited to a part of the Kanto and Kansai areas. Other regions use conventional radar data.

NERV Disaster Prevention

The NERV Disaster Prevention App is a smartphone service that delivers earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption and emergency warnings, as well as provides weather-related disaster prevention information for flooding and landslides, optimised based on the user's current and registered locations. The app was developed to help people living in or visiting an area where damage is expected to occur, to accurately assess the situation and make quick decisions and actions. With information received directly through a leased line connected to the Japan Meteorological Agency, our proprietary technology enables the fastest information distribution in Japan. ▼　All the information you need, in one app Get a wide range of disaster prevention information, including weather and typhoon forecasts, rain radar, earthquake, tsunami and volcanic eruption alerts, emergency weather warnings and landslide information, river information, and heavy rain risk notifications. By interacting with the map on the screen, you can zoom in on your location or pan across the country and see the cloud cover, typhoon forecast areas, tsunami warning areas, or the scale and intensity of an earthquake. ①　Providing users with the most appropriate disaster information The home screen displays the information you need at the time and place you need it. When there’s an earthquake, the home screen will show you the latest information. If another type of warning or alert is issued while the earthquake is active, the app will sort them depending on the type, elapsed time and urgency, so you’ll always have the most important information at your fingertips. ②　Push Notifications for Important Information We send out different types of notifications depending on the device’s location, the type of information and level of urgency. If the information is not urgent, we send a silent notification as not to disturb the user. For more urgent situations where a disaster is time-sensitive, a ‘Critical Alert’ alerts the user to an imminent danger. Notifications like Earthquake Early Warnings (Alert level) and Tsunami Warnings will be forced to sound, even if the device is in Silent or Do Not Disturb modes. Note: Critical Alerts will only be sent to users in the target area of the most urgent types of disasters. Users who have registered their location but are not in the target area will instead receive a normal notification. ※ In order to receive Critical Alerts, you need to set your location permissions to “Always Allow” and have Background App Refresh turned on. If you don’t want Critical Alerts, you can disable them from Settings. ③　Barrier-Free Design We paid close attention when designing the app to ensure our information is accessible to everyone. We put a focus on accessibility, with colour schemes that are easy to distinguish for people with colour blindness, and use a font with large, clear letters so long bodies of text are easy to read. ▼　Supporters’ Club (In-App Purchase) In order to keep doing what we do, we’re looking for supporters to help us cover the development and operational costs of the app. The Supporters’ Club is a voluntary membership scheme for those who want to give back to the NERV Disaster Prevention app, by contributing to its development with a monthly fee. You can find out more information about the Supporters’ Club on our website. https://nerv.app/en/supporters.html [Privacy] Gehirn Inc. is an information security company. The security and privacy of our users is our highest priority. We take great care not to collect excessive amounts of information about our users through this application. Your exact location is never known to us; all location information is first converted to an area code used by everyone in that area (like a zip code). The server also doesn’t store past area codes, so your movements cannot be tracked. Learn more about your privacy on our website. https://nerv.app/en/support.html#privacy
