Abstract:
We built PHN-Map, an open-data Web-based GIS with geo-linked 360° images to support 15 000 public health nurses (PHNs) during the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake and subsequent floods. The map improved pre-deployment triage, home-visit routing and training, logging >300 uses on launch day, proving GIS and 360° imagery useful for PHN disaster activities.
