| Research Abstract |
Collecting precisely and fast the relevant information in areas damaged due to an earthquake activates theoptimum municipal activities such as emergency calls for municipality staff, orders for evacuation of the affected areas and planning for various restoration. This paper discussed some factors controlling the collecting process of earthquake damage information in order to renew the municipal response system after an earthquake. As a result of analyzing a pile of damage reports by local governments in the 1993 Kushiro-Oki, the 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki, and the 1994 Hokkaido Toho-Oki Earthquakes, we found various factors governing the speed of collecting damage information ; for example, ground motion severity represented by seismic intensity, the areal size of municipality characterized in terms of population, the limited number of available laborers for surveying damages,
