[Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a disaster prevention support device and a disaster prevention support method that can support the creation of disaster prevention plans that are more practical than those in the past. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0013] [Figure 1] This is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of disaster prevention support device A according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a flowchart showing the operation of disaster prevention support device A according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a schematic diagram showing the disaster prevention timeline in one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a schematic diagram showing a table of disaster prevention actions in one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] This is a schematic diagram showing the disaster prevention timeline in one embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0014] One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The disaster prevention support device A according to this embodiment assists in the creation and implementation of disaster prevention plans that target floods among various types of disasters. While there are various types of facilities that can be targeted for disaster prevention (disaster-targeted facilities), the disaster prevention support device A according to this embodiment targets medical facilities that provide regional medical care as an example.

[0015] This disaster prevention support device A is, for example, a general-purpose computer equipped with a disaster prevention support program (application program). The disaster prevention support device A obtains information necessary for creating a disaster prevention plan from an external server B or a facility server C, and creates and updates disaster prevention support information specialized for a medical facility. The disaster prevention support information is a disaster prevention timeline and a disaster prevention action-related table that are essential for creating and implementing a disaster prevention plan in a medical facility.

[0016] Details will be described later. The disaster prevention timeline is one of the disaster prevention support information, and is an action plan table showing who performs various disaster prevention actions (prevention measures before a disaster) at what timing for disaster prevention. For example, some medical facilities have installed waterproof facilities consisting of a water stop wall and water stop plates to prepare for flood disasters. The waterproof facilities exhibit the desired waterproof function by operating or installing a movable water stop plate.

[0017] Therefore, in order to enable the waterproof function to function effectively, it is necessary to operate or install the water stop plate at an appropriate timing. The operation of the water stop plate is carried out based on the judgment of the disaster prevention person in charge of the medical facility. The disaster prevention timeline describes (plans) at what timing to operate the water stop plate, which is one of the disaster prevention actions.

[0018] The disaster prevention action-related table is one of the disaster prevention support information, and is an action table showing the disaster prevention actions to be taken by a medical facility in chronological order in the stage before a flood disaster occurs. This disaster prevention action-related table can be used for disaster prevention training in a medical facility assuming a flood disaster. By conducting disaster prevention training according to the disaster prevention action-related table, the disaster prevention plan can be made more effective.

[0019] To begin with, regarding external server B and facility server C, external server B is a collection of multiple servers that provide disaster prevention information related to medical facilities to disaster prevention support device A. Disaster prevention information includes, for example, hazard maps of the area where the medical facility is located (target area), past flood information, weather information consisting of rainfall amounts and river water levels in the target area during past floods, and water level forecast information (RRI information) for rivers in the target area from a certain point in time onward.

[0020] The RRI information is a water level forecast result that predicts river water levels up to 4 hours in advance based on a known RRI model, and includes past water level forecast results for multiple rivers in Japan. The RRI model predicts river water levels based on rainfall, runoff, and inundation in a region.

[0021] Facility Server C is a server managed by the medical facility and provides various information (facility information) related to the medical facility to Disaster Prevention Support Device A. Facility information includes at least architectural information such as the location and height of each building and various equipment that make up the medical facility, organizational information about various organizations within the medical facility, the job descriptions of members of various organizations (hospital staff), the medical facility's disaster prevention manual for floods, information gathered from interviews with hospital staff, records of past flood responses, and records of past inundation.

[0022] Here, the above architectural information includes not only design documents for the medical facility, but also survey information, photographs and videos, maintenance records, and conventional survey information and 3D point cloud survey information for each building and various equipment within the medical facility. In other words, the architectural information includes information from the time of construction of the medical facility, as well as information showing the condition of each building and various equipment at the time the disaster prevention plan was created (present).

[0023] As shown in Figure 1, disaster prevention support device A is a general-purpose computer equipped with at least a communication unit 1, a storage unit 2, an operation unit 3, a calculation unit 4, and a display unit 5. These communication unit 1, storage unit 2, operation unit 3, calculation unit 4, and display unit 5 are hardware elements that constitute the general-purpose computer. Disaster prevention support device A creates and updates disaster prevention timelines and disaster prevention action-related tables through the cooperation of these hardware elements and software elements (disaster prevention support programs).

[0024] The communication unit 1 is electrically connected to the calculation unit 4 and is also freely connected to the external server B. Based on information acquisition instructions input from the calculation unit 4, the communication unit 1 communicates with the external server B to acquire disaster prevention information, weather information, and water level forecast information. The communication unit 1 outputs the disaster prevention information, weather information, and water level forecast information acquired from the external server B to the calculation unit 4. This communication unit 1 is the facility information acquisition unit and disaster prevention information acquisition unit in this embodiment.

[0025] The memory unit 2 is a collection of multiple storage devices, such as ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), and a hard disk, and is electrically connected to the arithmetic unit 4. The memory unit 2 pre-stores the aforementioned disaster prevention support program in ROM and stores disaster prevention information, weather information, and water level prediction information in, for example, the hard disk based on write instructions input from the arithmetic unit 4. The memory unit 2 also provides disaster prevention information, weather information, and water level prediction information to the arithmetic unit 4 based on read instructions input from the arithmetic unit 4.

[0026] The control unit 3 is a collection of components such as a keyboard and mouse, and is electrically connected to the processing unit 4. The control unit 3 receives instructions (operational commands) from the operator regarding the creation and updating of disaster prevention timelines and disaster prevention action-related tables, and outputs these operational commands to the processing unit 4. These operational commands are processed by the processing unit 4 based on the disaster prevention support program. The operator is a disaster prevention officer (facility staff) of a medical facility involved in the creation and updating of disaster prevention timelines and disaster prevention action-related tables.

[0027] The calculation unit 4 is electrically connected to the communication unit 1, the storage unit 2, the operation unit 3, and the display unit 5. The calculation unit 4 creates and updates the disaster prevention timeline and disaster prevention action-related table by reading and executing the disaster prevention support program (application program) from the storage unit 2, and based on the operation instructions input from the operation unit 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the calculation unit 4 outputs the disaster prevention timeline and disaster prevention action-related table, created based on the disaster prevention support program and operation instructions, to the display unit 5 and stores them in the storage unit 2. The calculation unit 4 also transfers the disaster prevention timeline and disaster prevention action-related table to a predetermined destination based on the operation instructions. This calculation unit 4 is the support information creation unit in this embodiment.

[0029] The display unit 5 is, for example, a liquid crystal display device and is electrically connected to the calculation unit 4. The display unit 5 displays the disaster prevention timeline and disaster prevention action-related table input from the calculation unit 4 as images. Personnel in charge at medical facilities create disaster prevention plans for medical facilities based on the disaster prevention timeline and disaster prevention action-related table displayed on the screen of the display unit 5.

[0030] Next, the operation of the disaster prevention support device A according to this embodiment, that is, the disaster prevention support method using the disaster prevention support device A, will be explained in detail with reference to Figures 2 to 5.

[0031] When the calculation unit 4 of the disaster prevention support device A starts executing the disaster prevention support program, it first acquires disaster prevention information from the external server B (step S1). That is, the calculation unit 4 outputs a command to the communication unit 1 to acquire disaster prevention information, causing it to send a request to transmit disaster prevention information to the external server B. The external server B responds to the transmission request and sends disaster prevention information for the target area to the disaster prevention support device A. The communication unit 1 receives the disaster prevention information from the external server B and outputs it to the calculation unit 4. Step S1 is the disaster prevention information acquisition process in this embodiment.

[0032] Next, the calculation unit 4 acquires facility information from the facility server C (step S2). That is, the calculation unit 4 outputs a facility information acquisition instruction to the communication unit 1, causing it to send a facility information transmission request to the facility server C. The facility server C responds to the transmission request and transmits the medical facility information to the disaster prevention support device A. The communication unit 1 receives the facility information from the facility server C and outputs it to the calculation unit 4. Step S2 is the facility information acquisition process in this embodiment.

[0033] When the communications unit 1 obtains disaster prevention information for the target area and facility information for medical facilities in this manner, it generates a flood assessment matrix for various equipment at the medical facilities (step S3). This flood assessment matrix is ​​a table that shows the relationship between the flood level of the medical facilities and the various equipment at the medical facilities in a matrix format.

[0034] For example, medical facilities have their own power supply systems. These systems activate when the normal power supply from the power company is interrupted, providing power to necessary parts of the medical facility to maintain medical functions. The flood assessment matrix includes the relationship between such power supply systems and flood levels.

[0035] The relationship between the integrity of power supply equipment and the flood level depends on the height at which the various components of the power supply equipment are installed. Medical facilities have various other facilities besides power supply equipment, such as water supply equipment, sewage drainage equipment, rainwater drainage equipment, medical gas equipment, electronic medical records, elevators, disaster prevention centers, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and meals, but the integrity of these various facilities depends on the installation height of the various components of the facilities and the floor height of the building.

[0036] Then, the calculation unit 4 extracts the installation height and floor height for each building and various equipment in the medical facility from the building information included in the facility information, and compares the installation height and floor height with the flood height to perform a risk assessment (flood risk assessment) of the various equipment in the medical facility shown in the evaluation matrix (step S4).

[0037] Figure 3 shows an example of a risk assessment table created by the calculation unit 4 as a result of the processing in step S4. The calculation unit 4 creates the risk assessment table by adding the evaluation results obtained by the processing in step S4 to the flood assessment matrix created in step S3, indicating normal (○), partially normal (△), or malfunctioning (×).

[0038] Once the risk assessment table is created in this manner, the calculation unit 4 obtains (extracts) the following from the facility information as individual work content during a flood: the organizational structure of the medical facility, the work content of facility staff in each department during a flood, the person in charge of each task, the working hours for each task, and the disaster prevention manual (step S5). Then, the calculation unit 4 creates a disaster prevention action related to the flood based on these individual work content during a flood (step S6). Step S6 is the support information creation process in this embodiment.

[0039] Figure 4 shows an example of a disaster prevention action chart created in step S6. As illustrated, this disaster prevention action chart shows the disaster prevention actions of each department and facility staff (disaster response headquarters, hospital director, management staff, general affairs and planning department, etc.) of a medical facility in the pre-flood stage, linked to the flood stage based on river water levels and RRI information, in chronological order.

[0040] This disaster prevention action chart shows, for example, that when a staff member in the General Affairs and Planning Division checks the water level and RRI information, and the administrative supervisor issues an instruction to the General Affairs and Planning Division staff member to initiate flood control measures for the medical facility, each department and facility staff, including the hospital director, will take the necessary actions while monitoring the trends in water level and RRI information.

[0041] Furthermore, the disaster prevention action table shows that the flood stage changes sequentially based on water levels and RRI information. The flood stage changes sequentially over time based on rising water levels and trends in RRI information, and changes in stages according to a predetermined lead time.

[0042] For example, in the example in Figure 4, the flood stage rises from Stage 3 to Stage 4-1 when the water level exceeds 2.0m, and then rises from Stage 4-1 to Stage 4-12 when the water level exceeds 3.0m. In other words, the example in Figure 4 shows that the flood stage changes during the time (lead time) from 13:40 to 14:50 when the water level changes from 2.0m to 3.0m.

[0043] When the calculation unit 4 creates such a disaster prevention action-related table, it evaluates whether the time required for disaster prevention actions by each department and facility staff member listed in the table (disaster prevention action time) falls within the lead time assumed for each flood stage (step S7). Disaster prevention actions within the lead time are carried out individually and in coordination by multiple organizations and multiple facility staff members, but it is assumed that not all disaster prevention actions can be carried out within the lead time.

[0044] The calculation unit 4 determines the consistency between the disaster prevention action time for each disaster prevention action input from the operation unit 3 as an operation instruction for facility staff and the lead time in the disaster prevention action-related table. Based on this consistency determination, the calculation unit 4 then determines which disaster prevention actions are inconsistent with the lead time in the disaster prevention action-related table.

[0045] Then, the calculation unit 4 adjusts the flood stage and the conditions (triggers) for changing the flood stage in the disaster prevention action-related table based on the evaluation results in step S7, the hazard map of the disaster prevention information, the weather information of the target area during past floods, and the records of past flood response and past inundation included in the facility information (step S8). In other words, in step S8, the calculation unit 4 adjusts the conditions (triggers) for determining the lead time in the disaster prevention action-related table.

[0046] Then, the calculation unit 4 creates a disaster prevention timeline for floods based on the disaster prevention action-related table that has been modified through step S8 (step S9). The disaster prevention timeline is an action plan that shows who in each department of the medical facility will perform which disaster prevention action (implementation item) at which flood stage (at what timing) in the stage prior to the occurrence of a flood. Step S9 is the support information creation process in this embodiment.

[0047] When the calculation unit 4 creates a disaster prevention timeline, it outputs the disaster prevention timeline (step S10). That is, the calculation unit 4 stores the disaster prevention timeline in the storage unit 2 and outputs it to the display unit 5 for screen display. In addition, based on the operation instructions input from the operation unit 3, the calculation unit 4 outputs the disaster prevention timeline to the communication unit 1 for storage on the facility server C, or sends it to an external printer via the communication unit 1 for printing.

[0048] Figure 5 shows an example of a disaster prevention timeline created in step S9. This timeline shows the disaster prevention actions to be taken at each stage of flooding for each facility staff member who will be an information dissemination hub. For example, the head nurse, who is one of the facility staff members who will be an information dissemination hub, is assigned to confirm the status of patient transport and confirm how to contact nursing staff as a disaster prevention action at stage 1, and to confirm the order of patient transport as a disaster prevention action at stage 2.

[0049] When the calculation unit 4 creates a disaster prevention timeline in step S9, it acquires the results of the disaster prevention drill based on the disaster prevention timeline as training information. This training information is input to the calculation unit 4 by a disaster prevention officer (facility staff) operating the operation unit 3, or from the facility server C.

[0050] In medical facilities, a disaster prevention timeline is created using disaster prevention support device A, and disaster prevention drills are conducted at appropriate times according to the timeline. The results of these drills are then saved as one of the facility information items on facility server C, or input into calculation unit 4 as one of the operation information items by operating operation unit 3.

[0051] When the calculation unit 4 receives an instruction to acquire training information from the operation unit 3, it acquires the training information from the operation unit 3 following this instruction, or from communication with the facility server C via the communication unit 1 (step S11), and temporarily stores it in the storage unit 2. Then, the calculation unit 4 determines whether or not it is necessary to update the disaster prevention timeline based on the training (step S12).

[0052] The calculation unit 4 compares the training information acquired in step S11 with the disaster prevention timeline created in step S9 to determine whether it is necessary to update the disaster prevention timeline based on the training information. If the determination in step S12 is "Yes," that is, if the disaster prevention timeline needs to be modified, the calculation unit 4 executes step S8 again to readjust the flood stages and triggers to match the training information.

[0053] The calculation unit 4 recreates (updates) the disaster prevention timeline by executing step S9 again based on the readjusted flood stages and triggers. However, if the determination in step S12 is "No," that is, if no correction to the disaster prevention timeline is necessary, the creation of the disaster prevention action-related table and the disaster prevention timeline is completed without readjusting the flood stages and triggers or recreating (updating) the disaster prevention timeline.

[0054] According to this embodiment, a disaster prevention action-related table is created based on disaster prevention information for the target area where the medical facility is located and facility information for the medical facility, and a disaster prevention timeline for floods at the medical facility is created based on the said disaster prevention action-related table. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a disaster prevention support device A and a disaster prevention support method using the disaster prevention support device A that can support the creation of a more practical disaster prevention plan than conventional methods.

[0055] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, not only is a disaster prevention timeline created as disaster prevention support information, but a disaster prevention action-related table is also created. Therefore, according to this embodiment, not only can each facility staff member of a medical facility understand which disaster prevention actions to take and when, but they can also understand how the facility staff members are coordinating with each other, thus supporting the creation of a more practical disaster prevention plan.

[0056] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and for example, the following modifications are possible. (1) In the above embodiment, a case in which a medical facility responsible for regional medical care is designated as a disaster prevention target facility was described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention can be applied to various facilities other than medical facilities.

[0057] (2) In the above embodiment, the creation of a disaster prevention action table and a disaster prevention timeline for floods among various types of disasters has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention can also be applied to disasters other than floods if there are disasters for which disaster prevention actions can be taken before they occur.

[0058] (3) In the above embodiment, disaster prevention information was obtained from external server B and facility information was obtained from facility server C, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Various forms of methods for obtaining disaster prevention information and facility information are conceivable, so for example, the information may be obtained in advance and stored in storage unit 2. Also, the information necessary for creating the disaster prevention action-related table (necessary information) may be treated as a single piece of information without separating it into disaster prevention information and facility information.

[0059] (4) In the above embodiment, an example of a disaster prevention action-related table is shown in Figure 4 and an example of a disaster prevention timeline is shown in Figure 5, but the disaster prevention action-related table and the disaster prevention timeline are not limited to Figures 4 and 5.
