A Study on Disaster Risk Communication Methods by Spatio-Temporal Information Integration in Toho Village, Fukuoka Prefecture

Abstract

In order to mitigate the damage caused by serious disasters, it is necessary to improve the disaster prevention literacy of residents. In this study, a disaster risk communication method consisting of risk mapping and timeline development was developed to support residents' proactive disaster prevention activities by accumulating disaster information in a spatio-temporal manner. The risk map provided an understanding of the spatial distribution of disaster risks, and the timeline triggered a chain of self-help and mutual-help actions.
