Our project aims to develop “EpiNurse (Epidemiology+Nurse)”, who performs health risk assessment to prevent health emergency such as the outbreak of communicable diseases. ICT utilization such as mobile app is expected to enhance their activities, however, there still remains some obstacles to incorporate ICT for disaster nursing. We clarify the requirements for mobile apps, ICT environment, and user skill to realize the timely health risk assessment through the development of EpiNurse in Nepal.

2018年7月7日未明に発生した、岡山県倉敷市真備町での大規模水害において、さまざまな情報課題が発生した。本稿では、被災地域住民の目線から見た、災害初期の情報課題についてまとめ、報告する。

We developed a mark sheet assessment system and introduced it to a disaster relief organization that performed a health survey at Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture which was heavily damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake. We evaluated this system from the following two aspects: 1) data input and tallying performance and 2) a functional analysis based on the requirements of the organization’s staff and the results of a business process analysis.

We developed a system to collect 3W information and visualize it on the map. The system collects the 3W information of each disaster relief organizations, and do the aggregation and visualization for activity are and field of activity. The system was introduced on a trial basis in Northern Kyushu heavy rain disaster that occurred in July 2017. From this experiment, the following challenges became apparent. 1) So that each disaster relief organizations can submit their activity information within a short time, intuitive UI is necessary.　2) So that the input of 3W information does not bother relief organizations, there is a need for a mechanism that the information subscription can reduce the organizations' business.　3) In order to perform cooperation among disaster relief organizations smoothly, how to set the unit of activity areas is important.
