Heatstroke Danger Finder (熱中症キケンファインダー) is a high-resolution heat-risk mapping tool from Japanese research institute NSRI that visualizes outdoor heatstroke risk (WBGT) at 5-metre resolution using 3D city-model data, for residents and local governments. Built on Japan's open PLATEAU 3D-city-model to simulate fine-grained shade-and-weather data, it addresses the coarse resolution of existing national heat alerts, with a flagged use case of helping schoolteachers choose lower-risk locations for outdoor activities as record heatwaves drive ever-higher emergency-transport numbers.
