Where are we from?

Characteristics of Mie  Various region  Industrial area : Northern part  Residential area  Agricultural area  Tourist area : Southern part  Long coast line : about 170 km  Southern part : a rias coastline  Various region  Industrial area : Northern part  Residential area  Agricultural area  Tourist area : Southern part  Long coast line : about 170 km  Southern part : a rias coastline

History

Trough Hypocentral region Assumed Intensity by Japanese government based on the worst scenario

Assumed Tsunami height at the coastline by Japanese government based on the worst scenario

Usual Disaster Info. System  Special system for disaster  Gather damage information  Visualize on GIS  Open to public on Web site  Special system for disaster  Gather damage information  Visualize on GIS  Open to public on Web site

Problem of Usual System  Not real time system  Need long time to gather information  Special System  Different from daily-work system  Difficult to Expand  Lack of flexibility  Difficult to update information of database  Information about buildings and residents  Not real time system  Need long time to gather information  Special System  Different from daily-work system  Difficult to Expand  Lack of flexibility  Difficult to update information of database  Information about buildings and residents

Objectives of New system  Seamless system  At ordinary time and at emergency  Real time damage forecasting system  Expandability  Seamless system  At ordinary time and at emergency  Real time damage forecasting system  Expandability

Base system  Time-Space Information system  Time-dependent GIS  Developed at NIED (National Research Institute of Earth Science and Disaster Prevention)  KIWI+ format  Open database  Time-Space Information system  Time-dependent GIS  Developed at NIED (National Research Institute of Earth Science and Disaster Prevention)  KIWI+ format  Open database

Forecasting  Earthquake information  Seismic intensity, ground acceleration,…  Building damage  Collapse, half-damaged, minor-damaged,..  Deaths and injured  Fire damage  Lifeline damage  Earthquake information  Seismic intensity, ground acceleration,…  Building damage  Collapse, half-damaged, minor-damaged,..  Deaths and injured  Fire damage  Lifeline damage

How it works?  Receive quake information automatically from Now-cast system and Mie seismic monitoring network. (real time)  Calculate the seismic intensity, maximum ground acceleration and speed based on the Time-GIS database. (about 1 sec.)  Calculate building damage. (about 1 sec.)  Calculate number of deaths and injured. (about 1 sec.)  Send calculated information to certain organization (local city government, Japanese government) by FAX or (in few sec.)  Receive quake information automatically from Now-cast system and Mie seismic monitoring network. (real time)  Calculate the seismic intensity, maximum ground acceleration and speed based on the Time-GIS database. (about 1 sec.)  Calculate building damage.

Other Investigation for Response Plan  Investigation on the Counter-plan for the Refuge at Tourist Area  Investigation on the Counter-plan for the Refuge of the Weak  Investigation on the Counter-plan for the Refuge at Tourist Area  Investigation on the Counter-plan for the Refuge of the Weak
