The Shiga Prefectural Disaster Prevention App is an official tool designed to enhance safety and preparedness during emergencies. It provides essential features such as automatic search for designated evacuation shelters and emergency locations near the current position, alongside route guidance and a unique evacuation compass. Users can access hazard maps indicating areas at risk for landslides, flooding, and tsunami inundation, allowing them to assess local dangers effectively.

Additionally, the app offers timely push notifications for evacuation information, shelter openings, and weather alerts. It supports offline map usage, making it accessible even without an internet connection. With options for creating and sharing personal timelines, forming groups, and specialized modes for juniors, seniors, and the visually impaired, this app serves as a vital resource for disaster preparedness in Shiga and beyond.
