Abstract: Abstract In the event of a devastating earthquake, a large number of streets will be damaged and/or blocked by collapsed buildings, and the use of emergency vehicles is expected to be paralyzed and unavailable. It is, therefore, important to quickly collect and utilize disaster-information for mitigation. We develop a Web application for collecting and sharing disaster-information collected by users in real time. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the system can provide effective information in real time for reducing the damage of disaster, by performing a demonstration experiment and a simulation carried out by assuming a devastating earthquake in densely built-up wooden residential area in Tokyo.
