Real Time Situation Grasping Technology on Direct Damage Amount of Earthquake

Case Study on the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake

Abstract

Disaster response of serious and wide area earthquake is difficult only supported by the affected local government. It is important to grasp the direct damage amount and the overall picture of the damage promptly for the disaster designation and support from outside. However, actual investigation and estimation works tend to be postponed because of human resources shortage after disaster. This paper proposes real time situation grasping techology of direct damage amount through integrating an estimation model of real time direct damage amount and an apportion method of the estimation result. It also applies to the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake to present the result of the direct damage amount of Kumamoto Prefecture which apportioned in 250m mesh.
