From our experience the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 to help out the people in the affected area in terms of IT support such as internetworking and providing PCs, we came across an interesting issue concerning collaboration with people including supporters as well as the victims. We call this problem disaster communications. We also came to know the needs for disaster information processing as there was no such systems to manage shelters, goods distribution and volunteers. On the other hand such systems have been researched in the United States of America and Europe in terms of information processing for emergency management to a great extent. While we have had many natural disasters in Japan, only a very few of the researchers in computer science and information systems have been working on this issue. From this perspective, we try to identify the information required at disaster in this research. In particular, we explored the needs and seeds for disaster information processing in Iwate, Japan. We interviewed some supporters at Iwate in March 2011 such as local government officials, doctors and university administrators and found the situation awareness was required desperately in the beginning of the disaster. This paper reports our project of interviewing people who worked on disaster relief during the emergency response as well as our trial of a system for situation awareness based on the results from our interviews.

“…Since one joint position is represented by three float numbers, when expressing skeleton information of a human with 25 joints, it can be represented by 4 bytes × 3 × 25 = 300 bytes. We presume it absolutely useful in case of disaster with limited bandwidth available for communications [28].…”

In this research, we have developed an open source software tool which makes it easy for a user to get skeleton information of people in a live image by use of Kinect for Windows V2. Our tool is a set of library software which provides users with easy coding to get body information and face recognition. The tool has been distributed widely and used by several users already for their research work such as robotics. In this paper, we propose possible use cases such as a remote monitor system for elderly care with privacy as well as a monitor system for shelters at disaster.

Abstract:The Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11th, 2011 caused severe damage to the northern coast of the main island in Japan. Since then we have been working to help out the affected area in terms of IT support such as internetworking and providing PCs. Through our support activities we came across an interesting issue concerning collaboration with people from heterogeneous backgrounds. We call this problem disaster communications. In this paper we report our experiences during our support activities and our findings as well as some issues and our current work.
