Outline of Final Research Achievements

In support after the occurrence of a large-scale earthquake, it is an important issue the appropriate allocation of medical resources. Since the dynamics of the patient is expected to be different from the usual, such as gather to the nearest shelter, the optimal prediction is required dynamics predicting post-disaster patient distribution in each region. We estimate the dynamics of the patient at the time of the disaster by dealing visits data of patients. and disaster forecast data (inundation place by the tsunami, landslides) in the geographic information systems. We show that is possible to calculate the necessary amount of medical resources for each shelter.
