Mie Bosai Navi

In the prefecture’s official disaster prevention app, “Mie Bosai Navi,” you can see the location of nearby evacuation shelters on a map.

You can also check disaster information released by Mie Prefecture.

This time, 3 new functions have been added to the app (December 9, 2025).

1. Voice navigation function to shelters/evacuation points

You can use Google Maps with voice guidance to reach the nearest shelter.

2. Function to view images from road surveillance cameras

You can view camera images from 163 points within Mie Prefecture.

3. Button to call the “Disaster Message Hotline 171”

The Disaster Message Hotline 171 is a “voicemail box” that can be used when, after a disaster, communications to the affected area increase and it becomes difficult to complete calls. A button has been added to make a call to 171.
