A Development of Supporting Systems for Disaster Victims in the Initial Stage of Serious Earthquakes

The object of this research is to build supporting systems for disaster victims, especially for the elderly. These systems are considering as follows: support the people who belong to the specific area, work on the initial stage of disasters. By using these systems, the people in the area can be easy to refuge and to communicate each other. Therefore we suggest several ideas to build systems. And we focus on the system which concerns the elder's action to refuge and demands of the elderly in such situations. Then we aim at designing concrete functions based on these ideas.
