DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a safety confirmation method for quickly grasping the state of damage to all employees and their families when a disaster such as a great earthquake occurs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a company or an organization having offices in various places,
Personal data of all employees is managed by, for example, a host computer at the head office. Using such personal data, it is considered that a rescue system can be quickly established in the event of a disaster such as a large earthquake.

[0003] For example, when a disaster occurs, it is conceivable to obtain safety information by comparing personal data stored in the host computer with information from employees in various places and reporting on the state of damage in the stricken area. It is conceivable to identify employees and their families who have been affected by the disaster and decide on appropriate rescue measures for these employees.

[0004]

However, when a major disaster occurs, the host computer may become inoperable. In addition, although the communication from employees is usually via telephone line,
This telephone line may become unavailable due to a disaster. In such a case, there has been a problem that the conventional centralized processing method centered on the host computer cannot appropriately cope.

Therefore, a backup method is considered in which a computer having a similar function is prepared as a backup in addition to the host computer, and each can be processed using the same data. However, in this case, there arises a problem that the system is enlarged.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to quickly and reliably obtain necessary safety information even in the event of a major disaster, without increasing the scale of the system. An object of the present invention is to provide a safety confirmation method capable of easily constructing a system.

The non-erasable storage medium used here can be a CD that can be written only once by a personal computer for creating a CD-ROM, for example, a CD-R (CD Recordable). The information (safety information) that employees in each region contact in the event of a disaster is provided by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT)
Can be obtained by using the service "voice response service" provided by. In the event of confusion immediately after a disaster, this service memorizes the details that employees have contacted to specific telephone numbers known to all employees in advance, and NTT collects the stored contents later in a timely manner. It is to supply to customers.

[0009] The disaster safety confirmation file contains the addresses and locations of all employees, their families and their houses (houses), and if the evacuation destination is determined, it is preferable to also include the locations. The safety confirmation list output by the host computer or the personal computer should be able to search and output data on the affected person / family / house at the office. In this case, it is possible to output a safety confirmation list of the employee who belongs to the business office to which he belongs, the family and the house of this employee, and immediately start rescue activities for the persons involved in the business office. it can.

[0010] Further, the safety confirmation list can be searched and output in a region. In this case, by knowing the damage status of the family and the house other than the employee living in the specified area, even if the employee works at another business establishment due to relocation, etc. Safety information can be obtained.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an input form for personal data. FIG. 1 shows a procedure for recording a safety confirmation file of a host computer on a non-erasable storage medium. FIG. 2
Indicates the information transmission route in the event of a disaster.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a host computer, which is installed, for example, in the head office. The host computer 10 has a disaster safety confirmation file including data on the employee and his / her family, and the contents of this file are constantly updated to the latest data. This data is entered, for example, in the form shown in FIG.
In addition to age, address, etc., it is good to include evacuation destinations at the time of disaster. If you use this data,
This evacuation destination can be immediately known, which is convenient for searching.

The host computer 10 outputs the safety confirmation file to the magnetic tape 12 periodically (for example, once a month). This magnetic tape 12 is a CD-RO
The data is read by the personal computer 14 for creating M, and is written on a non-erasable CD-R (CD Recoadable) 16, that is, a CD (compact disk) that can be written only once.

The number of CD-Rs 16 is equal to the number of business establishments.
A, 18B,...) By mail or the like.
Each office 18 receives the latest CD-R 16 regularly (for example, every month) and stores it until the next CD-R 16 is distributed. Each office 18 has a personal computer 20 (20A, 20B,...) Used for ordinary office work. These personal computers 20 are, for example, Windows
It operates under the trademark (Microsoft Corporation), and can use the above-mentioned software for reading the CD-R16, and software for searching, for example, spreadsheet software "EXCEL" (trademark of Microsoft Corporation).
