Abstract

In this study, we implemented a disaster response support system based on accumulated past disaster response information for use by emergency response headquarters during times of natural disaster. The proposed system supports disaster response operation and decision making using a database of information accumulated from past disaster cases and response efforts. The proposed system comprises a disaster response information storage system for accumulating disaster response information and a disaster information visualization system for visualizing stored data and supporting emergency response efforts. The system also displays real-time social media information transmitted by ordinary citizens.
