When a disaster occurs, it is difficult to predict where they occur, the damage occurs is very serious. Especially in urban areas as electricity, gas, and make daily life difficult to break in a water supply infrastructure, human damage is increased by the building collapse and fire. Been evacuated or displaced temporarily under a long-term scale of the disaster are forced to live against a very stressful daily life. Japan's large-scale natural disasters since 1947 (typhoons, volcanoes, tsunami, torrential rain, earthquake) and see the number of occurrences of the situation amounts to 52 times. The earthquake 33 times in 17% of the total life of 14,619 names is taken away, the 15th typhoon in 29 percent of the 17,455 names have been deprived of life. In recent years, the typhoon is the modernization of the building due to fewer deaths. It should be noted in the Great Hanshin Earthquake that occurred in 1995, 6,437 deceased after 1960.
We initially conducted a brainstorming, Natural Hazard and Natural Disaster, Effect Damage extracted, and thought it might be able to supply power to set up the school grounds and parks that shelter the renewable energy. By creating charts and graphs during a power failure scenario earthquake scenarios, lighting and television, enables access to information through radio, led can ensure a safe and secure living in shelters.
What we learned in interviews with people who experienced the Kobe earthquake was that the power is restored sooner than we thought. From power after this disaster, gas, or to recover research performed at the time how much of the infrastructure, water could get very interesting data.
-The top priority should be a haven for power restoration. 75% 24 hours after restoration is done in the area of emergency power in the 7 days have ended.
- Gas and water has to be buried underground, and recovery can take 85-95 days. To recover in this case is the highest priority evacuation.
Renewable energy uses a natural resource that doesn't dry up the resource, and the force of the wind, sunlight, and water power are typical.
When our idea was spoken to the person in charge of disaster prevention of the municipality, it was obtained that the certainty of 100% was requested in the energy used in a time of disaster. However, they are required to ensure reliability during disasters that greatly depends on the weather and the environment will inevitably grow in size very much.
When the global perspective, the world has a non-power region, a disaster occurred in the world doing. I tried to work on an emergency hearing of the disaster, and later finding the victims, it was found that some interesting process.
- First stage: "surgical"
- The second stage: "Infection"
- The third stage: "Mental Care"
Prevention of infection, vaccines and drugs that require temperature control, for it was found that these global needs. And we produced a prototype of Portable battery system versatile in the world, showed the potential for the use of renewable energy in the disaster.
