Abstract

We are developing a Tsunami Digital Library (TDL) which can store and manage documents about tsunami, tsunami run up simulations, newspaper articles, fieldwork data, etc. In this paper, we propose a public education against the tsunami disaster mitigation as one of TDL applications. For the education, we use mobile phones to retrieve TDL because we have to walk coast regions. Then, we have prepared summaries of documents and newspaper articles in TDL, and also developed query systems for mobile phone retrievals.
