Abstract
Disaster information processing has 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 information processing have been working on this issue. From this perspective, we try to identify what sort of information processing was required at the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami on March 11th, 2011. In particular, we explored the needs and seeds for disaster information processing in Iwate, Japan. We interviewed local government officials, doctors and university administrators. This paper reports our newly started project of interviewing people who worked on disaster relief during the emergency response in Iwate as well as some results from our interviews.
