Simulation of Fire from Earthquakes

                             

                                          Forecasting threats of spreading fire from earthquakes.

 

Urban earthquake fire is becoming another matter of concern since the publication of new damage estimate for Tokyo Epi-central Earthquake. In 1995 Great HANSHIN-AWAJI Earthquake, which is the latest example of epi-central earthquake befalling a metropolis in Japan, fire wreaked the severest damages to the city. Earthquake brings simultaneous fire at all over earthquake zone and the fire significantly exceeds capabilities of local fire fighting.

As nobody knows when and in which city exactly epi-central earthquakes are befalling, it is quite important to study scales and areas of possible fire and develop effective evacuation plans and prioritization of firefighting for minimizing damages.

SHINYEI-OYO supports your advanced preparation through simulation of fire spread, integrating geographical, meteorological, and social backgrounds of a specific city you live. Once the earthquakes occur, the system turns into real-time simulation system on which you can check time series simulation of the spread and make timely decisions for mitigation.
