Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a disaster management system for managing disaster information at each disaster site during a natural disaster.

Background Art

[0002] When a natural disaster occurs, for example, in rivers, reservoirs, etc., it is necessary to quickly investigate each disaster site to accurately and efficiently know the disaster situation. It is necessary to prevent inaccurate and inefficient investigations such as missing investigations at disaster sites or duplicate investigations of a predetermined disaster site by different investigators at different times.

[0003] To address this, for example, it is conceivable to introduce the system disclosed in Patent Document 1 to manage the disaster information at each disaster site. This system is configured to transmit a disaster information report email from a disaster site to a server using a mobile terminal having a GPS function during a disaster. The server that receives the disaster information report email displays the disaster site on the map data with a predetermined mark and associates the disaster information with that location and stores it as a disaster situation presentation image. Then, the created disaster situation presentation image is transmitted to the mobile terminal, and the user of the mobile terminal can accurately grasp each disaster site.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, since a large amount of expenses are required for restoration measures at each disaster site, after a disaster occurs, each municipality needs to calculate the estimated expenses necessary for restoration within a predetermined short period and submit them to the state. The calculation of this estimated expense is generally carried out by sending investigators to each disaster site, having each investigator bring back the investigation results of the disaster situation, then calculating the individual disaster amount of each disaster site based on a predetermined arithmetic formula corresponding to each investigation result, and then aggregating the individual disaster amounts of each disaster site to calculate the total disaster amount at the time of the disaster occurrence. This takes a lot of time and effort, which is cited as an issue. However, regarding this issue, even if a system such as Patent Document 1 is introduced, it cannot be solved as before.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of such points, and its object is to provide a disaster management system capable of accurately and efficiently calculating the expenses required for the restoration of each disaster site when a natural disaster occurs.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that, at each disaster site, the information investigated by the investigator is input into a portable information processing terminal on-site and transmitted to the server, and the server calculates the disaster amount based on the information.

[0008] Specifically, targeting a disaster management system that manages the disaster information of each disaster site at the time of a natural disaster occurrence, the following measures were taken.

[0009] That is, the disaster management system according to the first invention includes an information input unit capable of inputting information for calculating the damage amount at the disaster site at the time of a disaster, an individual damage amount calculation unit that calculates the individual damage amount of the disaster site based on a predetermined arithmetic formula corresponding to the information for calculating the damage amount, and a GPS function unit capable of measuring disaster location information using a satellite, a portable information processing terminal having the above; an information storage unit that acquires the individual damage amount and the disaster location information from the portable information processing terminal by wireless communication and stores them in association with each other; and a server having a total damage amount calculation unit that aggregates the individual damage amounts of the different disaster sites and calculates the total damage amount at the time of a disaster. In the disaster management system configured as described above, when an investigator carrying a portable information processing terminal goes to the disaster site and inputs the information for calculating the damage amount obtained by investigating the disaster site into the information input unit, the individual damage amount at the disaster site is calculated and stored in the server together with the disaster location information of the disaster site. Then, when the investigation is completed at each disaster site, the individual damage amounts at each disaster site are aggregated in the server to calculate the total damage amount.

[0010] The disaster management system according to the second invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the information for calculating the damage amount is the dimensions, work type, classification, and restoration method of the disaster area at the disaster site. In the disaster management system configured as described above, when an investigator who has arrived at each disaster site measures the dimensions of the specific restoration area of each disaster site and then inputs the work type, classification, and restoration method of the disaster site into the information input unit in addition to the measured value, the individual damage amount is calculated.

[0011] The disaster management system according to the third invention further includes a photographing unit capable of photographing an image consisting of a moving image or a still image in the first or second invention, and the information storage unit is configured to store the image and the disaster location information in association with each other. In the disaster management system configured as described above, it functions to record the information on the disaster situation at the disaster site with an image.

[0012] In the disaster management system according to the fourth invention, in the third invention, at least one of the portable information processing terminal and the server is provided with an information display unit capable of viewing the individual damage amount, the disaster location information, the total damage amount, and the image. In the disaster management system configured in this way, it functions to enable the position and disaster situation of each disaster location to be confirmed in the portable information processing terminal or the server.

[0013] The disaster management system according to the fifth invention further includes a guidance route creation unit that creates a guidance route on the map data between the disaster location information of the selected disaster location and the current location information acquired by the GPS function unit, or the designated location information, and the information display unit is capable of displaying the map data on which the guidance route is shown. In the disaster management system configured in this way, it functions to prevent investigators or the like carrying the portable information processing terminal from getting lost on the way to each disaster location.

[0014] The disaster management system according to the sixth invention further includes a material data creation unit that displays a mark on the map data based on the disaster location information of the selected disaster location and creates disaster situation material data for viewing by attaching the corresponding image to a predetermined position on the map data in the third invention. In the disaster management system configured in this way, it functions to create materials that are easy to share information in meetings or the like after a disaster occurs.

Effect of the Invention

[0015] In the disaster management system of the first invention, when an investigator carrying a portable information processing terminal goes to the disaster area and inputs the information for calculating the disaster damage obtained by investigating the disaster area into the information input unit, the individual disaster damage amount at the disaster area is calculated and stored in the server together with the disaster location information of the disaster area. Then, when the investigation is completed at each disaster area, the individual disaster damage amounts at each disaster area are totaled in the server to calculate the total disaster damage amount. In this way, since the individual disaster damage amounts are stored with location information, there is no duplication in totaling or omission in adding to the total disaster damage amount, and an accurate total disaster damage amount can be calculated. Also, the individual disaster damage amount is calculated simply by inputting the situation of the disaster area into the portable information processing terminal. After the investigator has investigated the situation of the disaster area, there is no need to take it back and calculate the individual disaster damage amount, so the total disaster damage amount can be calculated efficiently.

[0016] In the disaster management system of the second invention, after an investigator who has arrived at each disaster area measures the dimensions of the specific restoration area of each disaster area, the individual disaster damage amount is calculated simply by inputting the type of work, classification, and restoration method of the disaster area, in addition to the measured value, into the information input unit. Therefore, the work that each investigator has to do at each disaster area to obtain the information for calculating the individual disaster damage amount is minimized, and each investigator can efficiently investigate the disaster situation at the disaster area.

[0017] In the disaster management system of the third invention, the information on the disaster situation at the disaster area can be recorded with an image. Therefore, it becomes possible for a person who has not been to the disaster area to visually confirm the disaster situation at the disaster area, and a system that is easy to manage disasters can be created.

[0018] In the disaster management system of the fourth invention, the location and disaster situation of each disaster area can be confirmed in the portable information processing terminal or the server. Therefore, the situation of each disaster area at the time of the disaster can be centrally managed.

[0019] In the disaster management system of the fifth invention, when an investigator or the like carrying a portable information processing terminal goes to each disaster-stricken location, there is no longer a risk of getting lost on the way. Therefore, it is possible to surely arrive even at a disaster-stricken location that is difficult to identify without a sense of direction such as farmland or a pond.

[0020] In the disaster management system of the sixth invention, it becomes possible to create materials that facilitate information sharing in meetings and the like after a disaster occurs. Therefore, even a person who has not been to the disaster-stricken location can easily understand the disaster situation through the materials and take disaster response measures.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the following description of the preferred embodiments is merely illustrative in nature.

[0023] FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a disaster management system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This disaster management system 1 manages disaster information for each disaster-stricken location D (see FIG. 5) at the time of a natural disaster, and includes a plurality of portable information processing terminals 2 used by investigators who investigate the disaster situation at each disaster-stricken location D, and a server 3 capable of transmitting and receiving data to and from each portable information processing terminal 2.

[0024] The portable information processing terminal 2 stores a program for operating the disaster management system 1, and includes an information input unit 2a, an individual disaster amount calculation unit 2b, a GPS function unit 2c, a photographing unit 2d, a data storage unit 2e, an information display unit 2f, and a guidance route creation unit 2g.

[0025] The information input unit 2a can input information 4 for calculating the disaster amount of the disaster-stricken location D when a natural disaster occurs. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, on the display screen 20 of the portable information processing terminal 2, it is possible to input the survey date, the investigator, the location number, the location, the work type, the classification, the restoration method, and the measurement item. For the work type, classification, and restoration method, as shown in FIG. 4, they are to be selected and input from predetermined selection items respectively. For example, if "agricultural land" is selected for the work type, then "paddy field" and "dry field" can be selected for the classification, and if "paddy field" is selected for the restoration method, then any one of "block stacking", "raft cage", and "soil dumping" can be selected.

[0026] Also, for the measurement item, the dimensions of the disaster area at the disaster-stricken location D are to be specifically input. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, if the restoration extension measured at the disaster-stricken location D is L = 5.0 m and the restoration height is H = 3.0 m, then "5.0" is to be input in the "restoration extension" column and "3.0" is to be input in the "restoration height" column.

[0027] The individual damage amount calculation unit 2b is configured to calculate the individual damage amount of the disaster area D based on a predetermined calculation formula corresponding to the damage amount calculation information 4. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the work type is "farmland", the classification is "field", and the restoration method is "dumping", the predetermined calculation formula is · Damage amount = Dumping volume × Unit price (Total unit price main body + Mechanical small transportation unit price) × 120% · Dumping volume = Dumping length (vertical) × Dumping length (horizontal) × Dumping thickness × Dumping shape · Total unit price main body: 6,500 yen · Mechanical small transportation unit price: 1,500 yen That is. Note that the dumping shape is calculated by multiplying by 0.5 m when the dumping clearly forms a triangular shape when viewed from the side, and usually, it is calculated by multiplying by 1.0 m. As a result of investigating the disaster area, when the dumping length (vertical): 10 m, the dumping length (horizontal): 5.0 m, the dumping thickness: 9.0 m, and the dumping shape: 0.5 m, the individual damage amount of this disaster area is · Individual damage amount = (10 m × 5.0 m × 9.0 m × 0.5 m) × (6,500 yen + 1,500 yen) × 1.2 = 2160 (thousand yen) It is calculated as follows.

[0028] Also, for example, when the work type is "reservoir", the classification is "none", and the restoration method is "bituminous soil", the predetermined calculation formula is · Damage amount = 210 (thousand yen) × Dike length (m) × Dike height (m) That is. As a result of investigating the disaster area, when the dike length: 5.0 m and the dike height: 10 m, the individual damage amount of this disaster area is · Individual damage amount = 210 (thousand yen) × 5.0 m × 10 m = 10500 (thousand yen) It is calculated as follows.

[0029] The GPS function unit 2c is capable of measuring disaster location information using artificial satellites. Also, the photographing unit 2d is capable of photographing an image consisting of a still image or a moving image. The data storage unit 2e can store various types of data. Specifically, it can store the disaster damage calculation information 4 input by the information input unit 2a, the individual disaster damages calculated by the individual disaster damage calculation unit 2b, the disaster location information measured by the GPS function unit 2c, and the images taken by the imaging unit 2d.

[0030] The information display unit 2f displays the disaster damage calculation information 4, the individual disaster damages, the disaster location information, and the images stored in the data storage unit 2e on the display screen 20 so that the investigator can view them. In addition, the guidance route creation unit 2g can create a guidance route R on the map data 5 between the current position information acquired by the GPS function unit 2c and the specified position information, and the disaster location information of each disaster location D already registered in the data storage unit 3e. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when a start position is specified, a guidance route R from the specified start position to the disaster location D is created, and the information display unit 2f displays the map data 5 with the guidance route R shown on the display screen 20.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, the server 3 stores a program for operating the disaster management system 1 in the same way as the portable information processing terminal 2, and includes an information storage unit 3a, a total disaster damage calculation unit 3b, a material data creation unit 3c, and an information display unit 3d. The information storage unit 3a acquires the disaster damage calculation information 4, the individual disaster damages, the disaster location information, and the images from the portable information processing terminal 2 by wireless communication, and stores the individual disaster damages, the disaster location information, and the images in association with each other.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 8, the total disaster damage calculation unit 3b totals the individual disaster damages of different disaster locations to calculate the total disaster damage at the time of the disaster. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the material data creation unit 3c displays a mark on the map data 5 based on the disaster location information of the selected disaster location D, and creates disaster situation material data 6 for viewing with the corresponding image pasted around the map data 5.

[0033] The information display unit 3d displays the disaster damage calculation information 4, individual disaster damage amounts, disaster location information, and images stored in the information storage unit 3a on a monitor screen (not shown) of the server 3 so that the investigator can view them. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, map data 5 with marks (numbers) attached to each disaster location D can be displayed, or a data sheet on which the total disaster damage amount has been calculated can be displayed.

[0034] Next, the operation flow of the portable information processing terminal 2 in the disaster management system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 2, first, in step SA1, the GPS function unit 2c measures the disaster location information, or after the disaster location information input by the investigator is stored in the data storage unit 2e, the process proceeds to step SA2. In step SA2, after the work type and classification input by the investigator are stored in the data storage unit 2e, the process proceeds to step SA3. In step SA3, after the restoration method input by the investigator is stored in the data storage unit 2e, the process proceeds to step SA4.

[0035] In step SA4, it is determined whether a still image or a moving image has been taken at the disaster location D. When the determination in this step SA4 is YES, that is, when it is determined that a still image or a moving image has been taken at the disaster location D, the process proceeds to step SA5, the captured image is stored in the data storage unit 2e, and then the process proceeds to step SA6. On the other hand, when the determination in step SA5 is NO, that is, when it is determined that a still image or a moving image has not been taken at the disaster location D, the process directly proceeds to step SA6.

[0036] In step SA6, after the dimensions of the disaster area input by the investigator are stored in the data storage unit 2e, the process proceeds to step SA7. In step SA7, the individual disaster damage amount of the disaster location D is calculated based on a predetermined arithmetic formula corresponding to the work type, classification, and restoration method stored in the data storage unit 2e, and the process proceeds to step SA8. In step SA8, the disaster location information, individual disaster amounts, and images stored in the data storage unit 2e are transmitted to the server 3, and the processing of the mobile information processing terminal 2 is terminated.

[0037] Next, the operation flow of the server 3 in the disaster management system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 7, first, in step SB1, after receiving the disaster location information, individual disaster amounts, and images transmitted from the mobile information processing terminal 2, the process proceeds to step SB2. In step SB2, after associating the disaster location information, individual disaster amounts, and images and storing them in the information storage unit 3a, the process proceeds to step SB3.

[0038] In step SB3, it is determined whether data of the same disaster location information has already been stored in the information storage unit 3a. When the determination in this step SB3 is YES, that is, when data of the same disaster location information has already been stored, the process proceeds to step SB5, and a warning is displayed on a monitor (not shown), and the processing of the server 3 is terminated. On the other hand, when the determination in step SB3 is NO, that is, when data of the same disaster location information is not stored, the process proceeds to step SB4.

[0039] In step SB4, it is determined whether the server 3 has received data of a new disaster location D from each mobile information processing terminal 2. When the determination in this step SB4 is YES, that is, when the server 3 has received data of a new disaster location D, the process returns to step SB2, and the new data is stored in the information storage unit 3a. On the other hand, when the determination in step SB4 is NO, that is, when data of a new disaster location D is not received, the process proceeds to step SB6, and the total disaster amount calculation unit 3b aggregates the individual disaster amounts of different disaster locations to calculate the total disaster amount at the time of the disaster, and the processing of the server 3 is terminated.

[0040] As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when an investigator carrying the portable information processing terminal 2 goes to the disaster area D and inputs the disaster amount calculation information 4 obtained by investigating the disaster area D into the information input unit 2a, the individual disaster amount at the disaster area D is calculated and stored in the server 3 together with the disaster location information of the disaster area D. Then, when the investigation is completed at each disaster area D, the individual disaster amounts at each disaster area D are totaled in the server 3 to calculate the total disaster amount. In this way, since the individual disaster amounts are stored with location information, there is no duplication in totaling or omission in adding to the total disaster amount, and an accurate total disaster amount can be calculated.

[0041] In addition, the individual disaster amount can be calculated simply by inputting the situation of the disaster area D into the portable information processing terminal 2. After the investigator has investigated the situation of the disaster area D, there is no need to take it back and calculate the individual disaster amount, so the total disaster amount can be calculated efficiently.

[0042] Also, after the investigator who has arrived at each disaster area D measures the dimensions of the specific restoration area of each disaster area D, the individual disaster amount can be calculated simply by inputting the type of work, classification, and restoration method of the disaster area D into the information input unit 2a in addition to the measured value. Therefore, the work that each investigator needs to do at each disaster area D to obtain the information for calculating the individual disaster amount is minimized, and each investigator can efficiently investigate the disaster situation at the disaster area D.

[0043] In addition, in the portable information processing terminal 2, the information on the disaster situation at the disaster area D can be recorded with images, so it becomes possible for people who have not been to the disaster area D to visually confirm the disaster situation at the disaster area D, and a system that is easy to manage disasters can be achieved. In addition, various data can be displayed on the information display unit 2f of the portable information processing terminal 2, while various data can be displayed on the information display unit 3d of the server 3. Therefore, it becomes possible to confirm the location and disaster situation of each disaster area D in the portable information processing terminal 2 and the server 3. Accordingly, the situation of each disaster area D at the time of a disaster can be centrally managed.

[0044] In addition, since the guidance route R between the disaster location information of the selected disaster area D and the current location information acquired by the GPS function unit 2c, or the designated location information, can be created on the map data, there is no risk of getting lost when an investigator or the like carrying the portable information processing terminal 2 goes to each disaster area D. Therefore, it is possible to surely arrive even at a disaster area D that is difficult to identify without a sense of direction such as farmland or a pond.

[0045] In addition, on the server 3, a mark can be displayed on the map data 5 based on the disaster location information of the selected disaster area D, and disaster situation material data 6 for browsing with a corresponding image pasted around the map data 5 can be created, making it easier to share information in meetings or the like after a disaster occurs. Therefore, even a person who has not been to the disaster area D can easily understand the disaster situation through the materials and take disaster response measures.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, regarding the aggregation result by the total disaster amount calculation unit 3b, the result aggregated by each disaster area D is displayed. However, for example, the result aggregated by city, town, and village may be displayed, or the result aggregated by work type may be displayed. In addition, the disaster situation material data 6 created in the disaster management system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention pastes the images taken at each disaster area D around the map data 5, but it does not have to be around the map data 5 and may be pasted at a predetermined position. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the information display units 2f and 3d are provided in both the portable information processing terminal 2 and the server 3, but it is sufficient if they are provided in at least one of them.
