| Research Abstract |
Collecting existing methods for estimating earthquake damage, we developed a computer software for providing disaster safety personnel of local administrations with substitutional experience of earthquake disaster. Our design intention was to help local administrations organize effective preparedness.
The study was done in three staes as follows. In the first stage, discussing how the software can bve used, which damage items are dealt with, how damage is estimated, and how input data are prepared, we described an outline of the software. We decided to design the software so that it can quantitatively evaluate damage distribution within a municipality at any given seismic intensity at a reference site. In the second stage, a prototype model with a regional database for a hypothetical target area was developed. The model dealt with 15 items including building damage, facility damage of lifelines (power, water, and gas systems), deaths and injuries, and fire breakout. In the third stage, developing a regional database for a specific area, taking Nagaoka, Niigata as an example, we realized a model applicable to the city. Also, in the third stage, we discussed future directions of the software from the view points of its improvement as a training system for disaster response, as an estimation system for restoration processes and other long-term effects, and as a rapid estimation system working with a seismometer.
