・Preparing for earthquakes and tsunamis at your travel destination

If you enable location linking, you can receive earthquake early warnings for your travel destination without changing settings.

You will also be notified when a tsunami advisory or warning is announced, so you can take evacuation action as soon as possible.

*Earthquake early warnings may not be delivered in time for areas close to the epicenter.

・For measures against sudden rain

Since you can know the heavy rain forecast as soon as possible, you can prepare in advance by closing the shutters if you are at home or moving indoors if you are going out.
