Abstract

The present invention provides an evacuation notification system that can provide notification of the number of evacuees taking shelter in multiple emergency evacuation facilities or apparatus, and allows evacuation conditions to be accurately ascertained on the basis of such notifications.

An evacuation notification system comprises an evacuation notification terminal device that is capable of automatically transmitting evacuation notification information including an inputted number of evacuees, a determined evacuation position, and identifying information at a predetermined time interval and is provided at an evacuation site, and a receiving terminal device in a disaster center that displays an evacuation position marker on a map displayed on a terminal screen and a number of evacuees associated with the marker on the basis of the number of evacuees, evacuation position, and identifying information included in the received evacuation notification information transmitted from the evacuation notification terminal device, and can display movement history.

Claims

1. An evacuation notification terminal device comprising:

input means comprising at least numerical keys for inputting a number of evacuees having evacuated to an evacuation site;

position-determining means that uses a global positioning system (GPS) to automatically determine evacuation position when the device is powered on;

control means for creating evacuation notification information including the inputted number of evacuees, the determined evacuation position, and identifying information for the evacuation notification terminal device; and

transmission means for automatically wirelessly transmitting the created evacuation notification information at a predetermined time interval when a transmit button is pressed after the number of evacuees has been inputted by an evacuee;

the device being provided at an evacuation site and being capable of being carried away from the evacuation site by an evacuee.

2. The evacuation notification terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the evacuation notification information comprises a number of priority evacuees inputted using the numerical keys.

3. An evacuation notification system comprising:

an evacuation notification terminal device that is provided in an evacuation site, can be carried away from an evacuation site by an evacuee, and is capable of automatically wirelessly transmitting evacuation notification information including a number of evacuees inputted by an evacuee, an evacuation position automatically determined using a global positioning system (GPS) when the device is powered on, and identifying information for the evacuation notification terminal device at a predetermined time interval after the number of evacuees has been inputted; and

a receiving terminal device that is provided in an evacuation monitoring location, is capable of displaying an evacuation position marker on a map displayed on a terminal screen and displaying a number of evacuees in association with the evacuation position marker on the basis of the number of evacuees, the evacuation position, and the identifying information included in the received evacuation notification information wirelessly transmitted from the evacuation notification terminal device, and is capable of displaying a history of the movement of the evacuation notification terminal device.
