Development of Cloud based GIS to Provide Information of Estimated Damaged Building at Early Stage in Disaster Response Process

Abstract

In the response phase of the disaster management cycle, colleting information of disaster damage to establish shared situation awareness among organisations and make actionable decesions often take time. We have developed a new methodology to immediately make the information of estimated damaged buildings by photointerpreting aerial photos or satellite images and share it as web maps on the cloud based GIS platform and in downloadable csv format. The methodology has been verified in the casestudy of the Northern Kyushu heavy rain disaster in 2017 and applied to the West Japan heavy rain disaster in 2018.
