N2  - Severe water-related disasters occur in Japan almost yearly due to typhoons and frontal rains; these events often entail evacuation problems. In this report, a questionnaire survey was conducted among local people of Miyagi and Toyama Prefectures to evaluate their awareness of disaster-related information. We also conducted an oral survey encompassing several city hall meetings to investigate problems that have occurred during past disaster responses. As a result of this analysis, we determined that many people do not fully understand locally distributed disaster information. City halls are responsible for many difficult tasks during disaster responses. Therefore, to overcome the evacuation problems investigated in this study, we proposed the distribution of a new hazard information based on probable maximum flood inundation to identify high-risk zones where early evacuation will be required.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
