What is the Kumamoto Point Project?
The purposes of the project are to increase the rate of participation in community activities and volunteer activities by developing the Kumamoto App, a dedicated smartphone app that makes use of one’s Individual Number Card (*) and introducing a point system as an incentive for those who participate, as well as to provide evacuees and disaster victims with the support they need by adding features useful in operating evacuation centers and recruiting disaster relief volunteers in the event of a disaster.
*The app only scans the four items (name, address, date of birth, and gender) listed on the front of the Individual Number Card. -
