Abstract
During the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, DMATs (Disaster Medical Assistance Teams) could not rescue victims efficiently with accurate location data, because the local governments had lost refuge location data and resident registers due to damage caused by the tsunami. In this paper, to support DMATs, a refuge prediction system based on the characteristics of disaster, landscape, and victims’ psychology is proposed, which can function even if local governments lose information about victims and refuge locations. As an example, this system deals with tsunami. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this system by comparing the data of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami and our prediction system.
