Risk-Communication with Disaster Simulation Systems

Abstract

In the Special Project for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in Urban Area, which is called 'DAI-DAI-TOKU', integrated disaster simulation systems are developed. One useful application of these simulation systems is risk-communication, in which local governments and citizens share information of risks. In this paper, the requirements and subjects are discussed to carry out risk-communication (RC) with disaster simulation systems. We also report a case of RC to show the usefulness of simulations.
