In order to verify the formulation process and effects of a timeline against earthquake and tsunami disaster, this paper has conducted an action research for procedure of "Hyogo Prefectural Response Plan (2015)". This plan is assembled based on the records of the past disaster response. This plan consists of ten category and nine phases, and considering that the gathering rate of staff varies with time, there are two types. The panoramic view and tables showing the role of each department at each phase are combined in this plan. In the process of formulating this plan, veteran tacit knowledge was accumulated as explicit intelligence. Training proved that timelines are effective not only for aggressive information acquisition but also for information triage.
