[Information system of heat-disorders and prevention].
In Japan several services for providing information on heat-disorders and its prevention are available. For the information on patients of heat-disorders, National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) and Fire and Disaster Management Agency(FDMA) have systems for providing the information of the patients transported by ambulance cars from heat-disorders. NIES deals the data from major cities and FDMA deals the data of all Japan by prefecture. For the information on preventing heat-disorders, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and NIES have systems for providing the weather information. JMA alarms when the daily maximum temperature reached or will reach to extremely high (> or = 35 degrees C) and NIES provides the WBGT(wet-bulb globe temperature) forecast for coming three days for all around Japan.
