A RESEARCH ON IMMEDIATE DAMAGE ESTIMATION TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE CRISIS MANAGEMENT FOR MEGA-EARTHQUAKES

Abstract

 After an earthquake, MLIT conducts, road patrolling for the area of Japanese seismic intensity 4 or higher. However, when a mega earthquake occurred, there is a possibility that grasp of the damage takes more than several hours, and there is fear that quick disaster countermeasures becomes difficult. A real-time earthquake damage estimation system is set for disaster management of concerned facilities. The system is expected to support the decision making just after earthquakes and to outline scenarios of practical disaster drill. In case of development, it was based on an exchange of views with the person in charge in a disaster management section and was equipped with the function necessary to decision support of the time of an accident.
