世界に必要な災害レジリエンスシステムの構築

ミッション:あらゆる災害による被害を最小化すること


これまでの道のり

2014年のカシミール洪水では、100万人以上が被災し、460人の命が奪われました。アマッド・ワニの自宅は崩壊し、彼はそこに7日間も閉じ込められました。避難することもできず、その間生死の間をさまよいました。しかし、その一週間は、彼の人生を大きく転換する洞察を与えるものとなりました。彼は、自然災害の壊滅的な被害を軽減することの重要性を、身を持って認識しました。多くの人々が災害を「予測できない惨事」と見なす中、彼は「もしもこの自然現象の被害が予測できたなら」と考えました。

構造工学技術者であるアマッドは、研究を続けていたスタンフォード大学で機械学習エンジニアであるニコール・フーと地震科学者であるテイモシー・フランクに出会います。三人の情熱とそれぞれが持つ専門知識を共有することにより、自然災害の被害を予測する新たな方向性が見えてきました。それは、これまでの災害マップやモデルを超越する、災害科学をベースに革新的なデータサイエンスと機械学習テクノロジーを融合したものでした。
