Providing warning message via satellite is one solution to address the challenges of early warning information dissemination in the event of a disaster, particularly in areas that have no internet/cellular communication system. It is also seen as a solution when existing communication systems are damaged by extreme disaster events. Considering these, the Japan government is promoting the Satellite Report for Disaster and Crisis Management (DC Report), an early warning service (EWS) that utilizes the Quasi Zenith Satellite System (QZSS), to countries in Asia-Pacific region. Under the supervision of the National Space Policy Secretariat of the Cabinet Office Japan, a project team, led by the NTT Data Corporation, has been organized in 2021 to create a system for the QZSS DC Report service that is tailored to each country’s needs and environment. This paper describes the progress in promoting the utilization of DC Report service, as presented by the project team and representatives of target countries during the Asian Conference on Disaster Reduction (ACDR) held on 10-12 March 2023 in Sendai City, Japan.
