Summary It is quite natural that the frequency of large-scale natural disasters is low, and therefore it is most essential to share and impart information on such disasters and response to them for improving disaster response. For this purpose, we have developed a database system which enables to record disaster situations, analyze disaster response and accumulate lessons learned from disasters.
