Overview
The Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 was the first case of Disaster Information Support using the Internet on a large scale. At that time, much of the work was done on a spur-of-the-moment, individual basis and was not efficient.
Based on this experience, over the past 10 years, a community has been formed among information technology professionals and experts from other fields to prepare an information support system for the next disaster. In the event of a disaster, a system has been established to enable efficient information support activities through collaboration across disciplines.
In this session, we will discuss the progress made over the past 10 years and how to improve the system.
