Using au災害対策
(au Disaster Countermeasure)
This is an application in which you can use Disaster Message
Board and Early warning mail (earthquake early warnings and
disaster/evacuation information).
The emergency early warning mail is a service that distributes
emergency earthquake information or disaster evacuation
information to all au cell phones in specified areas
simultaneously. When you receive emergency earthquake
information, ensure your safety and take proper action
according to the situation around you.
1 From the Home screen, [ ]→[au災害対策 (au Disaster
Countermeasure)].
❖Information
･ Reception of emergency early warning mail is notified by a
special warning tone. It is not possible to change the warning
tone.
･ Emergency earthquake information is sent to areas where
strong quakes (over 4 degrees) are expected when the
earthquake whose the maximum seismic intensity 5 lower is
anticipated occurs.
･ Immediately after an earthquake occurs, quakes (P waves
and initial tremors) near the epicenter are detected and
position, scale, and expected strength are automatically
calculated and notification is sent as soon as possible within
a few seconds to tens of seconds before the strong quakes
(S waves and major tremors) caused by the earthquake start.
･ Emergency earthquake information may not arrive before
strong tremors in arrears near the epicenter.
･ Disaster evacuation information is a service that distributes
bulletins concerning residents' safety including evacuation
advisories, evacuation orders and other warnings issued by
the national and local governments.
･ The service is available only in Japan (it cannot be used
overseas).
･ No information fee or communication charge is required for
receiving emergency early warning mail.
･ KDDI is not liable for damages suffered by customers
resulting from the service's information, lack or delay in the
information caused by transmission or system breakdowns,
or other events that are outside the responsibility of KDDI.
･ Refer to the Japan Meteorological Agency web page for
details about distribution of emergency earthquake
information.
http://www.jma.go.jp/
･ You cannot receive emergency early warning mail when your
cell phone is turned off or during a call.
･ Emergency early warning mail may not be received when
your cell phone is communicating such as while sending/
receiving SMS (C-mail)/e-mail or using the browser, or if you
are in a place where signal does not reach even in the service
area (e.g. in a tunnel, basement) or in a place with a poor
reception.
･ You cannot receive the emergency early warning mail that the
reception is failed.
･ This delivery system is different from emergency earthquake
information provided through TV, radio, or other
communication procedures, which means that the time the
emergency earthquake information arrives may vary.
･ Information from someplace other than your current location
may be received.
