Abstract :
In this paper, we used the Great East Japan Earthquake as a learning experience, propose the disaster management support system used in the disaster countermeasures headquarters. This system is based GIS (geographical information system) using high-resolution Tiled Display Wall. The all functions of this system cooperates with GIS displayed on the Tiled Display Wall, and provides users with various interactions. By using this system, it becomes possible to manage all information in a unified manner in the disaster countermeasures headquarters. By consolidated management of information, the prompt action to various situations is attained in the disaster countermeasures headquarters.
