An information processing apparatus comprising: a communication interface configured to receive a first alarm information indicating an alarm of a plant from a control apparatus and to receive, from an alarm management apparatus configured to receive the first alarm information, a second alarm information obtained by the alarm management apparatus performing processing on the first alarm information to suppress a first information amount from the first alarm information; the information processing apparatus characterised in that it further comprises a controller configured to: make a judgment of whether the alarm management apparatus is operating normally or whether communication with the alarm management apparatus is performed normally; when a judgment is made that the alarm management apparatus is operating normally or the communication with the alarm management apparatus is performed normally, output to a user, as a presented alarm information, the second alarm information received by the communication interface; and when a judgment is made that the alarm management apparatus is not operating normally or the communication with the alarm management apparatus is not performed normally, output to the user, as the presented alarm information, either the first alarm information received by the communication interface or a third alarm information obtained by the controller performing processing on the first alarm information to suppress a second information amount from the first alarm information, wherein the second information amount is less than the first information amount. a communication interface configured to receive a first alarm information indicating an alarm of a plant from a control apparatus and to receive, from an alarm management apparatus configured to receive the first alarm information, a second alarm information obtained by the alarm management apparatus performing processing on the first alarm information to suppress a first information amount from the first alarm information; the information processing apparatus characterised in that it further comprises a controller configured to: make a judgment of whether the alarm management apparatus is operating normally or whether communication with the alarm management apparatus is performed normally; when a judgment is made that the alarm management apparatus is operating normally or the communication with the alarm management apparatus is performed normally, output to a user, as a presented alarm information, the second alarm information received by the communication interface; and when a judgment is made that the alarm management apparatus is not operating normally or the communication with the alarm management apparatus is not performed normally, output to the user, as the presented alarm information, either the first alarm information received by the communication interface or a third alarm information obtained by the controller performing processing on the first alarm information to suppress a second information amount from the first alarm information, wherein the second information amount is less than the first information amount. make a judgment of whether the alarm management apparatus is operating normally or whether communication with the alarm management apparatus is performed normally; when a judgment is made that the alarm management apparatus is operating normally or the communication with the alarm management apparatus is performed normally, output to a user, as a presented alarm information, the second alarm information received by the communication interface; and when a judgment is made that the alarm management apparatus is not operating normally or the communication with the alarm management apparatus is not performed normally, output to the user, as the presented alarm information, either the first alarm information received by the communication interface or a third alarm information obtained by the controller performing processing on the first alarm information to suppress a second information amount from the first alarm information, wherein the second information amount is less than the first information amount.
