Saga City, Japan – August 8, 2025 – Saga City has announced the successful selection of a contractor for the crucial task of developing a flood hazard map for the upper reaches of the Kase River. The announcement, published on August 8, 2025, at 5:03 AM JST, marks a significant step forward in the city’s ongoing commitment to enhancing disaster preparedness and public safety.
The “Flood Hazard Map (Kase River Upper Reaches) Development Business Public Proposal for Examination Results” outlines the outcome of a public proposal process undertaken by Saga City. This competitive process aimed to identify a qualified and experienced entity to undertake the complex and vital work of creating a comprehensive flood hazard map.
Flood hazard maps are essential tools for disaster risk reduction. They visually represent areas that are likely to be affected by flooding during heavy rainfall or river overflow, providing crucial information to residents, businesses, and local authorities. These maps are instrumental in raising awareness, informing land-use planning, guiding emergency response efforts, and ultimately, protecting lives and property.
The development of a flood hazard map for the upper reaches of the Kase River is particularly important given the geographical characteristics of the region. Understanding potential flood inundation areas in this upstream section will allow for more effective upstream flood control measures and better preparedness for communities downstream.
While the specific details of the selected contractor have not been publicly disclosed in the initial announcement, Saga City’s rigorous public proposal process ensures that the chosen entity possesses the necessary expertise in hydrological modeling, geographic information systems (GIS), and hazard assessment. The project is expected to involve detailed data collection, sophisticated analysis, and extensive consultation to produce an accurate and reliable flood hazard map.
Saga City’s proactive approach to updating and creating vital disaster preparedness resources like flood hazard maps underscores its dedication to safeguarding its citizens. This initiative will undoubtedly contribute to a more resilient community, better equipped to face the challenges posed by natural disasters. Further updates on the progress of this important project are anticipated.
