Abstract

In this paper, we propose the Real-time Disaster Damage Information Sharing System for the disaster countermeasures headquarters at the time of large-scale natural disaster. This Real-time Disaster Damage Information Sharing System consists of the Post Damage Picture Smartphone Application, the Post Damage Picture Facebook Application, and theWeb-GIS Disaster Information Management Site. The Post Damage Picture Smartphone Application and the Post Damage Picture Facebook Application are the disaster prevention support systems for posting the damage picture to the Web-GIS Disaster Information Management Site installed in the disaster countermeasures headquarters in real time from the disaster sites. The Web-GIS Disaster Information Management Site is the disaster prevention support system for managing various damage situation based on Web-GIS. By this system, the disaster countermeasures headquarters can grasp the damage situation by large-scale natural disaster in real time. This enables quick and accurately response to the disaster sites or the refugees.
