Risk of Flooding
• Frequent Extra-tropical cyclones by
greenhouse effect increase the risk of flood
disaster and localized heavy rains
in the decade
• To prevent/reduce the flooding damage, antidisaster headquarters must have overall
knowledge of anti-disaster measures
(ex. know-hows, tips)
Purpose
• To provide overall knowledge of anti-disaster
measures,
• (1) we analyze measures from previous
disaster, and
• (2) we visualize the structure of measures as
“summary”
• The “summary” can be effective to improve
quality of disaster-recovery services/cares
Sample of the anti-disaster measures
for city-center headquarter (1/2)
• Do not hesitate to counsel refugees.
Safety of human life is most important.
• We observed that even in emergency, people
do not evacuate. To make people aware of the
need for evacuation is crucial.
• Volunteer center should be established
immediately. Volunteer is not only a worker,
but is also hope for recovery.
Sample of the anti-disaster measures
for city-center headquarter (2/2)
• A huge amount of garbage is thrown away. A
temporary garbage dump should be
constructed immediately. For quick processing,
separation of garbage should be promoted.
• Do not hesitate to act for relief even if it costs
much money. Any financial issue can be
settled afterwards. The head of municipality
must prove that we can afford the refugee
costs.
Preprocess
• 828 measures are taken from Book “Knowhows of prevention, reduction and recovering
of flood disaster --- message from the striken
areas”
• We manually labeled a few keywords to each
measure (source text) , to represent the
original context/meaning
The Labeling Sample (1/2)
• Do not hesitate to counsel refugees.
Safety of human life is most important.
– Life | Refuge | Refugees Counsel
• We observed that even in emergency, people do not
evacuate. To make people aware of the need for
evacuation is crucial.
– Refuge | Refugees Counsel | Publication | Tense Situation
• Volunteer center should be established immediately.
Volunteer is not only a worker, but is also hope for
recovery.
– Volunteer Center | Volunteer | Victims | Encouragement
The Labeling Sample (2/2)
• A huge amount of garbage is thrown away. A
temporary garbage dump should be constructed
immediately. For quick processing, separation of
garbage should be promoted.
– Garbage | Temporal Place | Garbage Separation
• Do not hesitate to act for relief even if it costs
much money. Any financial issue can be settled
afterwards. The head of municipality must prove
that we can afford the refugee costs.
– Budget | Immediately After | Head of Municipality
Visualizing System (based on Prefuse toolkit)
Visualize Graph (Node: Measure + KW)
• 828 measures, 188 keywords, 2.539 links
Visualize Graph (Node: KW only)
• Eliminate Measure-ID nodes, and link neighboring keywords directly
• 188 keyword nodes, 3.450 links (911 links are added)
3.450 links
Visualize Graph (KW only, link reduced)
• Only the most frequent keyword on the measure can link to another
• 188 keyword nodes, 1.961 links (43% of links reduced, but still dense)
3.450 links
1.961 links
Co-occurrence Keyword Network
• Consider co-occurrence degree (numbers of
overlapping links) among keyword nodes

6-24 co-occurrence graph
• 6 co-occurrence : green 32 links over 6 co-occurrence: red 34 links
Conclusion and Future Work
• We discussed our trials to analyze know-hows
(measures) on flood disaster measures
• We found the co-occurrence keyword network
can represent meaningful relationships
– The graph can provide overview for anti-disaster
headquarters and citizens
• Future Work
– Semi-Automatic labeling
– Improve interface design for quick graph analysis
