Investigation on Actual Disaster Responses in Local Governments in terms of Information Sharing

Abstract

Investigations using questionnaire and interview were carried out for local government employees who actually experienced disaster response in recent disasters with severe damage. The investigations were conducted, focusing on information sharing. The results of investigations were summarized as flow diagrams of information and information processing flow diagrams. These diagrams indicate a state of information sharing desired and they also give fundamental conditions for the information sharing platform to be developed for disaster reduction.
