“…However, the situation for hearing-impaired people on disasters has been worse. We have studied the information system for 14 years [20,21,9,10,8,4,7,5] and have to continue our project to support hearing-impaired people under disasters.…”

In Japan, there is a high chance of getting damage from earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons, so we need to get information about where to evacuate quickly. However, in such situations, communication infrastructures such as base stations of 3G, LTE are broken. Even if they are available, many people try to access the Internet or make a phone call, network congestion occurs. As a result, their ways of communication are limited. Under such a situation, weak people at a disaster, who called CHECT (Children, Handicapped, Elderly people, Chronically ill, Tourists), usually receive a disadvantage. We have been developed a support system for hearingimpaired people in a disaster since 2007 because they are hard to get information because a lot of emergency information is delivered by sound. For them, information by vision is more suitable. Now, we are testing our disaster information delivery system in Miyagi-Prefectural School for the Deaf. The system is constructed by several LED displays and connected by the ad-hoc network. To install our system, we are now trying to use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Advertisement. In this paper, we will explain the outline of our system and the result of the experiment of the performance of the ad-hoc network with BLE Advertisement. The performance includes the reachability of transmitted packets, the routability of the routing protocol we developed. As a result, we can conclude that BLE Advertisement based ad-hoc network is feasible to construct a disaster information system for hearing-impaired people.

“…We envision this to assist us in decision making in the case of an Emergency, during which time the call-traffic patterns are also high in volume. Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems (DDDAS) have been discussed to have the end goal of processing real-time experimental data to use as an input parameter for software simulations [1]. Since experimental data often requires simulations to make drastic changes [2], the end-goal for a good simulator has always been flexible design.…”

Abstract-We present a test-bed for Emergency ManagementSimulations by contrasting two prototypes we have built, CAVIAR and Reverse 111. We outline the desirable design principles that guide our choices for simulating emergencies and implement these ideas in a modular system, which utilizes proactive crowd-sourcing to enable emergency response centers to contact civilians co-located with an emergency, to provide more information about the events. This aspect of proactive crowd-sourcing enables Emergency response centers to take into account that an emergency situation's inherent nature is dynamic and that initial assumptions while deploying resources to the emergency may not hold, as the emergency unfolds. A number of independent entities, governmental and non-governmental are known to interact while mitigating emergencies. Our test-bed utilizes a number of agents to simulate various resource sharing policies amongst different administrative domains and non-profit civilian organizations that might pool their resources at the time of an emergency. A common problem amongst first responders is the lack of interoperability amongst their devices. In our test-bed, we integrate live caller data obtained from traces generated by Telecom New Zealand, which tracks cell-phone users and their voice and data calls across the network, to identify co-located crowds. The test-bed has five important components including means to select and simulate Events, Resources and Crowds and additionally provide a visual interface as part of a massive online multi-player game to simulate Emergencies in any part of the world. We also present our initial evaluation of some resource sharing policies in our intelligent agents, which are part of our test-bed.
