The (real-time) digital archive of the Noto Peninsula earthquake

Abstract

On 1 January 2024, the Noto Peninsula Earthquake of 2024 occurred, causing extensive damage. We created a 3D map using open data and no-code tools, while collaborating with professionals on SNS. Newspaper journalists under the author's academic supervision also published a 3D map on the day of the disaster, utilising news photographs, through bottom-up and rapid action. These contents were accessed in large numbers and contributed to the rapid communication and analysis of the disaster situation, for example by confirming the safety status on SNS and by being used in mass media reports. These methods can be utilised in future disaster response.
