Abstract: Abstract In Japan, there are many flood and tsunami disasters caused by typhoons, heavy rains and earthquakes. In this case, the residents have an evacuation time to evacuate to shelters after evacuation alerts from a governmental office. However, some people don’t try to evacuate soon. As a result, it is problem that some victims of disasters are caused because without or late evacuation and supporting. In order to prevent such a damage, we developed Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) for disaster risk reduction. The RISS includes daily required life information from regional government and regional shops, as well as disaster information, shelters’ condition and the information of support required people and support teams. In this paper, we introduce the concept of RISS and its evaluation results on a field test and the effects in a regional disaster case by multi-agent simulation.
