The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Fire and Disaster Management Agency announced on May 11, 2017 "Utilization of distribution service of national protection information by smartphone applications etc." and the situation of J alert reception on smartphone. Among them, "Some of them can not be received" are stated.
So, what should we do to make the "J alert" sound more concretely on the smartphone?
It can respond even with Garakae
The J - CAST news was introduced on April 13th in the article "If you are approaching a missile, I want to remember that this sound will sound" Civil Protection Siren "." This siren can be set from "Emergency Bulletin Mail" on most models, even if it is a smartphone, if it belongs to a major mobile company such as docomo, SoftBank, au etc.
In the case of docomo, if it is an iPhone, there is a button written as "emergency bulletin" at the bottom of the notification screen from the setting tool. If it is on, it will automatically sound. On the other hand, if it is an android, it can be set from a disaster kit or an application called area mail. Even so-called Garakae, you can set it by turning on "Emergency Breaking Area Mail" from the mail setting. Softbank's cheap smartphone, "Y! Mobile" is also supported. From "Emergency Bulletin Mail" on the home screen, you can check if you can set it.
J-CAST news interviewed the Fire and Disaster Management Agency on May 12, "Although there is a high possibility that smartphones that use other than the lines of three major companies are unlikely to receive J alerts," which specific smartphones I do not know if I can not receive it. For example, Rakuten Mobile does not correspond to "J alert" by default. In order to be able to receive emergency information, it is necessary to install a push notification type disaster prevention information application "Yahoo! Disaster Preparedness Report". For cheap smartphone, confirmation is necessary at contract. Also, if the Fire Department can not receive J alert directly with a smartphone etc., some prefectures and municipalities send ballistic missile information etc. to the mail address of smartphone and cell phone registered in advance, so use I want you to do it.
