Based on the lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has researched and developed a network technology that is resistant to disasters. This paper outlines the disaster-resilient regional-mesh network system called “NerveNet” and its platform details. The NerveNet Platform was utilized for disaster recovery after the Kumamoto earthquakes. A disaster drill for communication support activities is also described.
