Issues Regarding Information Sharing of Field Response Agencies in the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake: Considerations Regarding the Role and Limitations of the ISUT-SITE

Abstract

The SIP4D, which was developed through the 1st and 2nd phases of the Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP), and its browser, the ISUT-SITE, have been implemented in society as a system that provides Common Operational Picture (COP) during disasters. However, it is mainly used in places where communication environments are well established, such as disaster response headquarters. On the other hand, it is known that it has not been used at the front line of disaster response. In this paper, we summarize the issues of SIP4D and ISUT-SITE based on interview surveys for field response agencies that were active on the front lines for the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in 2024. Based on the results, and by comparing them with the configuration overview of information systems in the defense field, we showed that a system for sharing information quickly and in detail is needed on the front lines of disaster response.
