Abstract

At this catastrophe, two kinds of issues were concemed; one is that many new kinds of support programs would be created, the other is that the supporting period for victims' life reconstruction would be much longer than one at other past disasters. Against this issue, we designed and developed the “Victims Master Database Management System" as the web-based service providing system, and we installed this to Iwate prefecture actually. Now, 7 cities and towns have started to utilize our system. Especially, Miyako city clarified the situation of progress in victims life reconstruction storing 64 types of their supporting process in Victims Master Database through our system.
