This study describes a disaster information sharing system designed for local municipalities in mountainous areas with insufficient disaster information to use seamlessly from normal times to emergency in order to carry out disaster prevention and mitigation activities effectively and efficiently. Utilizing the system of the e-community platform, developping by the NIED, as the core system, we propose the prototype "Aga-town Risk Information System (ARIS)" for Aga Town, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. Then we conducted a questionnaire for officers in charge of disaster management and confirmed the availability of the system. |
