Most traditional disaster management systems in Japan employ input devices such as keyboards or mice, and it was necessary to post expert staff with high computer literacy to operate the system quickly and correctly in the tense situation when a disaster had occurred. In this research, a disaster information management system is proposed which can be easily operated, even under the disorderly conditions of a disaster, by the local government's person in charge of disaster management. This system achieves usability enabling easy input of damage information, even by local government staff with no expertise, by using a digital pen and tabletop user interface. Evaluation was conducted by prospective users using a prototype, and the evaluation results are satisfactory with regard to the function and operationality of the proposed system.
