| Abstract | Large scale disasters cause severe social disorder and trigger mass evacuation activities. Managing the evacuation shelters efficiently is crucial for disaster management. Kumamoto prefecture, Japan, was hit by an enormous (Magnitude 7.3) earthquake on 16th of April, 2016. As a result, more than 10,000 buildings were severely damaged and over 100,000 people had to evacuate from their homes. After the earthquake, it took the decision makers several days to grasp the locations where people were evacuating, which delayed of distribution of supply and rescue. This situation was made even more complex since some people evacuated to places that were not designated as evacuation shelters. Conventional methods for grasping evacuation hotspots require on-foot field surveys that take time and are difficult to execute right after the hazard in the confusion. We propose a novel framework to efficiently estimate the evacuation hotspots after large disasters using location data collected from smartphones. To validate our framework and show the useful analysis using our output, we demonstrated the framework on the Kumamoto earthquake using GPS data of smartphones collected by Yahoo Japan. We verified that our estimation accuracy of evacuation hotspots were very high by checking the located facilities and also by comparing the population transition results with newspaper reports. Additionally, we demonstrated analysis using our framework outputs that would help decision makers, such as the population transition and function period of each hotspot. The efficiency of our framework is also validated by checking the processing time, showing that it could be utilized efficiently in disasters of any scale. Our framework provides useful output for decision makers that manage evacuation shelters after various kinds of large scale disasters. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
