2011年3月11日，一场毁灭性的地震袭击了日本。该地区频繁发生强烈地震的历史，特别是1995年的坂神-淡路大地震，促使日本制定救灾方法，为此类自然灾害做好准备。然而，地震和随后的海啸摧毁了大部分沿海地区，并因福岛第一核电站事故引起恐慌。在这种情况下，一些危机管理系统的表现符合预期。然而，其他系统的性能不佳，需要系统开发人员在运行中实施新的和改进的抗灾系统。这些系统包括全国范围的难民定位器，救援物资匹配系统，大都市地区计划停电的计划应用程序，实时监控公共交通系统的Twitter挖掘系统等，灾难发生后，我们对这些系统进行了全面调查，以记录高科技国家的极客如何应对这样的国家危机。对由此产生的救灾应用程序清单的分析为我们提供了对未来灾害的有用见解：i）建议当局尽快披露统计信息，ii）必须提供开发人员之间的协调，iii）数据库的互连对于效率至关重要。
A devastating earthquake hit Japan on March 11, 2011. A history of frequent and powerful earthquakes in the region, especially the great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake of 1995, led the country to develop disaster relief methods in preparation for such natural disasters. Nevertheless, the earthquake and following tsunami destroyed much of the coastland, and caused panic, due to the Fukushima-daiichi nuclear power plant accidents. During this situation, some of the crisis-management systems performed as expected. However, the poor performance of the others required system developers to implement new and improved counter-disaster systems on the fly. Such systems include the nationwide refugee locator, relief supply matching system, planning applications for scheduled power outages in the metropolitan area, twitter-mining systems for realtime monitoring of public transportation systems, etc. After the disaster, we conducted a comprehensive survey of such systems, in order to record how geeks in the high-tech country responded to such a national crisis. The analysis of the resulting list of counter-disaster applications gave us useful insight for future disasters: i) authorities are advised to disclose statistical information as quickly as possible, ii) coordination among developers must be provided, and iii) interconnection of databases is essential for efficiency.
