Abstract
Abstract. The Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System (AMeDAS) Data is used along with compound disaster information for a geographic information system (GIS) by integration into the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) disaster prevention information XML data. A JMA XML format is a next generation format that contains weather warnings, tsunami warnings, and earthquake information, etc. However, it is not possible to process it by reading disaster prevention information XML Data and AMeDAS Data directly to the GIS system. Therefore, development of a program that converts the data structure is important to consolidate a variety of disaster prevention information on the GIS system. Information on escape routes and evacuation sites, etc. were given as points for regional meteorological observation forecasts using AMeDAS Data by disaster prevention information XML data and integrating it where the disaster was generated, giving a range of expansion of damage and a damage level. There are two main aims; the first is to deliver these compound data of disaster prevention information XML data and AMeDAS Data via the Internet. The second aim is to provide GIS files (shapefile format) of these data to such as local governments for their individual analysis. This was furthermore confirmed to enable the construction of a system using WebGIS (Google Maps) and Open Source Software GIS to monitor disaster information at low cost.
Highlights
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has decided to deliver all Disaster Prevention Information (DPI) data in a new JMA format to users, mainly local governments
This system can be used for real-time protection of the municipality, enabling the disaster prevention information, to accumulate JMA DPI, and to use past disaster prevention information
The purpose of this research is expected to become an effective tool for protecting the municipality in real time collecting, integration of information from Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System (AMeDAS) data that supplements the content of disaster prevention information in addition to disaster prevention information announced by the Meteorological Agency
Summary
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has decided to deliver all Disaster Prevention Information (DPI) data in a new JMA format to users, mainly local governments. The purpose of this research is expected to become an effective tool for protecting the municipality in real time collecting, integration of information from AMeDAS data (rainfall etc.) that supplements the content of disaster prevention information in addition to disaster prevention information announced by the Meteorological Agency. This system was confirmed as a promising method for monitoring disaster prevention information with cheap system construction using WebGIS (Google Maps) and Open Source Software GIS
