Use of map information
Time of disaster (e.g., the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011)
Used for checking status of damage and for emergency measures
Handwritten notes were often used as first-aid measures.
Sharing of information on
printed maps, as accessing Excel
data was difficult.
A map with many sticky notes
could not be used as a reference
chart, as some notes could be
missing.
Copying paper maps and gluing
them together to make a wide
map was troublesome.

NationalResearchInstituteforEarthScienceandDisasterPrevention,DisasterRiskInformationProject Specific problems with local government disaster response
7
Particularly regarding dissemination of disaster information
Information segment Actual case
[Collection/Estimation]
Scale of estimated external force
(e.g., tsunami, rainfall, water level,
eruption)
• In the case of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the estimated
tsunami height was not correctly reported.
• Unprecedented scale of external forces, such as unexpectedly strong
rain, occurred in many places.
Accurate damage prediction allows rapid response.
[Collection/Current status]
Damage situation inside and outside
autonomous region
• In the case of the above earthquake, cutcherys were damaged in
many cities and towns, but no one was accurately reporting the
damage.
• “Trafficable map” and other information provided from external
sources did not arrive at the damaged areas.
[Provision/Other organization]
Report of disaster response and
damage information, including
information on evacuation
instructions and preparation of
shelters
• They were busy corresponding with residents and had almost no
time to report to supervisory agencies.
Various systems were born on a patchwork basis.
Too many systems required too much time to operate.
Telephones were more convenient.
[Provision/Residents]
Public information for residents,
including information on evacuation
instructions and preparation of
shelters
• Important information related to evacuation instructions was
managed improperly; as a result, release of public information was
delayed.
• Rules for decision-making were not well-prepared.
There was no singularly effective way to deliver information.
8. NIEDBOSAI-DRIP
NationalResearchInstituteforEarthScienceandDisasterPrevention,DisasterRiskInformationProject Solutions to these problems
8
Improvement in the direction of disaster information flow
Target information segment and general problem Necessary direction of the solutions
[Collection/Estimation]
Scale of external force (e.g., tsunami, rainfall, water level,
eruption) is unpredictable; therefore, evacuation is not properly
executed.
• More advanced and faster estimation
calculation
[Collection/Current status]
Since fragmentary information is not well-organized, damages
are not accurately assessed.
Information about neighboring autonomous communities is not
available, and cooperation with external organizations stops.
• System for secondary use of received
information
• System for sharing information
[Provision/Other organization]
Although reporting to supervisory agencies is necessary,
information is not sufficiently provided due to other obligations
for corresponding with various organizations and residents.
• System for sharing information
[Provision/Resident]
Information about current status of external forces and damages
are not properly managed, and the rules for decision-making are
not well-prepared. Urgent and smooth release of public
information is impossible.
• System for comprehensive management
and smooth release of information

The cloud-based system for public-private collaboration regarding crisis management utilizes a
data sharing system called a “clearing house,” and API and has a function to import information
about neighboring autonomous communities and map information (aerial photos, trafficable
road maps, etc.) provided by various organizations directly after the disaster.

Since they occur suddenly, the top-priority response is
“evacuation instructions” followed by “collection of damage
information,” and “lifesaving” of people left behind in tsunami
refuge buildings, etc.
Flood/Landslide Since their occurrence is more predictable, the first response is
“monitoring and observation” of rain and river water gauges.
According to the situation, “settlement of a headquarters
location,” official announcement of orders, and “preparation of
shelters” follow.
Volcano In addition to responses for “flood/landslide,” unique responses
like “restriction of entry to mountains” are necessary.

NationalResearchInstituteforEarthScienceandDisasterPrevention,DisasterRiskInformationProject General comment of Mr. Kunisada, Mayor of
Sanjo City
20
(Although such a system tends to be self-righteousness,
only satisfying developers), the overall concept and good
operationality of this particular system, with the tabs and
layered menu, are so user-friendly.
I think we, Sanjo City, can use the system to support
decision-making at the time of disaster.
In order to improve standardization and distribution of data,
I think it is important to generalize a standardized system in
the regional disaster prevention field.
Sanjo City is pleased to provide any assistance.
21. NIEDBOSAI-DRIP

The prefecture’s current disaster prevention system is available but somewhat
inconvenient. If we can view information from various cities and towns
collectively, we can save labor. To see satellite images on the prefecture’s system,
we have to ask JAXA. Like this system, we want to get information from
various sources without troublesome procedures. (Crisis measures department,
Nigata Prefecture)
We get information from volunteer fire corps. It is helpful if we can register
that information in a central place.
We need to share information from volunteer fire corps. (Fire department of
Sanjo City)
Sanjo City has a benchmark (based on the water level of Shinano River) by which to
begin headquarters procedures for major disaster. Now they can check the water level
via the Internet, and make a table manually. They need a system that
automatically detects a trigger. (From the discussion with Sanjo City participants)

General comments from the Deputy Mayor and
Crisis Manager of Kamaishi City
22
[Mr. Wakasaki, Deputy Mayor]
The basic idea of this system, such as the screen
configuration, is excellent. Please improve the system
continuously.
The system functions are good. We can output the collected
information in the CSV format, and input data with a tablet.
[Mr. Yamazaki, Crisis Manager of Kamaishi City]
Availability even during normal conditions is important. This
system is scalable to the daily work applications. That is a
good point.
One-stop announcement to the citizens is also a good point.
23. NIEDBOSAI-DRIP

We hope the system can work with the 119 system of the Fire
Department. (Kamaishi City Fire Department)
With this system, we can import various data, operate secondary
use of the data bi-directionally, and also check information from
the city, so its potential as a tool is significant. We hope smooth
communication of information with headquarters for major
disaster countermeasures. (Coast Wide Area Promotion Bureau of
Iwate prefecture)
We can collect information, but cannot share it. That is a
problem. We should not wait for delivery of information. If the
system allows us to search information when no information is
delivered, it is helpful. (Mr. Nakagawa, Project Operation Chief)
24. NIEDBOSAI-DRIP
NationalResearchInstituteforEarthScienceandDisasterPrevention,DisasterRiskInformationProject
General comment of Mr. Higo, Mayor of
Kobayashi City
24
Totally, this system is very excellent.
It is widely usable, not only for volcano disasters, but also
for the following applications:
Countermeasures for foot-and-mouth disease
Advertising of Geopark (during normal conditions)
Activity of voluntary organizations for disaster
prevention
I will promote this system to share information among the
cities and towns around Kirishima.
25. NIEDBOSAI-DRIP
NationalResearchInstituteforEarthScienceandDisasterPrevention,DisasterRiskInformationProject
Demonstration test participants of Kobayashi City
25
We asked each city and town to make a report in case a disaster
occurs, even when they are very busy coping with the disaster.
Some reports are sent to not only the crisis management bureau,
but also to the other sections, such as Prefectural Land
Development Section. We know this procedure is a problem,
and we hope this system is deployed in the prefecture.
Currently, we are also developing our system to cope with
wind and flood damage. We hope that system can work with
the cloud system. (Miyazaki Prefecture)
This system is effective. It is very good that we can check
the situation of neighboring Miyakonojo City. Sharing of
information collected in the control room is also good.

NationalResearchInstituteforEarthScienceandDisasterPrevention,DisasterRiskInformationProject Social background and R&D purpose
Background
34
It is very important to rapidly assess damage and use this damage information for
establishment of initial action systems and disaster responses in case a disaster occurs.
Out of regret that the emergency measures were delayed in the Great Hanshin-Awaji
Earthquake of 1995 and that damage across wide areas was not accurately assessed during
the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, some suggested that it is important to figure out
the overall damage condition quickly and comprehensively, while at the same time
integrating information at each phase of preparation, emergency measures, and restoration
and reconstruction in order to make decisions as soon as possible.
Although various damage estimation systems have been prepared by the national
government, local authorities, and companies, it has been suggested that they have not
been sufficiently accurate and also, total and comprehensive understanding of the damage
is difficult to obtain with those.
We operate R&D of a real-time damage estimation and condition check system that
allows estimation of the total damage, understanding of the damage condition, and also
checking of the damage by towns and streets, and by individual buildings based on
detailed estimations, even when a wide-area disaster like an earthquake occurs. This
information must be quick and accurate. We operate R&D to improve this information
based on observation and analysis technologies.

NationalResearchInstituteforEarthScienceandDisasterPrevention,DisasterRiskInformationProject Demonstration test for improvement of mission-critical system
We conducted three demonstration tests (in which 13 local governments joined), and extracted
problems of the mission-critical system.
36
● Kobayashi City, Miyazaki Prefecture (Earthquake) January 27, 2015
Test policy: We gave a role-playing type emergency drill for the occurrence of an
earthquake. We only explained operations of the system for two hours and gave no
detailed settings, such as a system application range, so that the community workers
could “check the operation casually.”
Result: We could extract problems based on the actual disaster response, such as
information display at the time of earthquake.
● Nagareyama City, Chiba Prefecture (Earthquake) February 12, 2015
Test policy: Since all community workers were using the system for the first time, we
explained how to operate it along the flow of disaster response, and they tried
inputting data.
Result: We found a problem with the system operation environment.
We began to conduct quantitative arrangement concerning the agreeable operation
environment.
● Nine cities and one town in Nishi-Mikawa District, Aichi Prefecture (Flood)
February 20, 2015
Test policy: We invited 10 local governments, including nine cities and one town,
from Nishi-Mikawa District, Aichi Prefecture, and MLIT (33 IDs), and let them input
data within the system and experience mutual information sharing according to the
scenario.
Result: We confirmed an agreeable system operation environment. Each local
government suggested many points to be improved upon concerning the system and
information display, based on their experiences with the disaster responses. We will
interview these nine cities and one town within this year.
