The Development of the Slope Failure Management System
Track: EMS, Fire and Disaster Management
Author(s): Fang Ji, Kawasaki Akiyuki, sadohara satoru

There are many incidents of slope failure across Japan. The measures are required. Recently soft-measures are expected since hard-measures, such as constructing soil fall protections, are difficult to execute because of economical and environmental consideration. As citizens of Yokohama City and advisers of local government, we developed the Slope Failure Management System. We digitized the existing paper data which municipal government owns. ArcGIS is utilized in order to effectively collect, restore, manage and analyze the slope data for the support of the routine work of personnel in municipal government. With this system, we can predict the potential slope failure by using the results of analytical and real-time rainfall data. We think that the predicted result is useful for emergency responses, such as evacuation activity. The targeted area is Yokohama, Japan.
