Abstract(in English) Since Japan is a major disaster country, various means for delivering disaster information are used at the time of disaster. However, the conventional disaster information is for the mass, and does not consider individual circumstances and contexts. Therefore, some residents cannot grasp their surrounding dangers properly, and thus fail to escape from disasters. In this paper, we propose a new Web application CANDLE (Crowd Assisted Navigation for Disaster Localization and Evacuation), which visualizes disaster information adapted for individuals, and suggests appropriate evacuation actions. CANDLE collects micro disaster reports posted by people in evacuation. It then visualizes the reports on the map, together with macro information provided by local governments and the meteorological agency. Considering evacuation alerts, user's current location, the current time, and the collected micro reports, CANDLE suggests appropriate evacuation actions to the user. As a result, it is expected that the evacuation awareness of the user is improved significantly, and that the user can take a faster and more appropriate evacuation action.
