Abstract:
The western Japan rainstorm disaster on July 6, 2018, was one of the most serious natural catastrophes in Japan, excluding earthquake events. Its main characteristics were severe and widespread flooding and landslides which cut off many areas, interrupting both traffic and telecommunication, and loss of clean water supply. We explored the utility of unmanned aerial vehicles to collect precise information on traffic disruption and damage to hospitals for patient rescue and for efficient allocation of resources. This visualized information was beneficial for determining rescue strategies. Lessons from this disaster and novel technologies could contribute to minimizing damage in future disasters.
