从 2011 年 3 月 11 日的东日本大地震和海啸中可以汲取应对大规模灾难的重要经验教训。电力系统故障以及由此造成的信息通信和处理能力丧失严重制约了许多城市的恢复工作。支持组织收集和共享信息很困难。建议围绕四个 u 结构设计一个节俭的信息系统,作为处理救灾早期阶段的解决方案,通常在最初的 72 小时内,甚至在意识到即将发生灾难时。本文重点介绍基于最常用设备(移动电话)的通信,作为节俭的 IS 救灾的基础。熟悉且可用的工具对本已紧张的通信系统造成的压力最小,并能够在受灾害影响的人员和参与救灾的人员之间建立有效的联系。
Important lessons for responding to a largescale disaster can be gleaned from the March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. The failure of the electrical power system and the resultant loss of information communication and processing capability severely constrained the recovery work of many municipalities. It was difficult for supporting organizations to collect and share information. A frugal information system designed around the four u-constructs is suggested as a solution for handling the very early stages of disaster relief, typically within the first 72 hours and even upon the realization of an impending disaster. This article focuses on basing communications on the most frequently available device, the cellular phone, as the foundation for a frugal IS for disaster relief. Familiar and available tools place minimal stress on an already strained communication system, and enable effective connection between those impacted by a disaster and those involved in disaster relief.
