Abstract
Being ready for an emergency can make a significance difference on the outcome of a crisis. Since flood damage occurs almost every year in Japan, residents need to prepare by acquiring accurate knowledge and developing an interest in disaster prevention.

In this study, we first carried out questionary survey in order to extract problems for The existing flood hazard map.
This study, based on the identified shortcomings of previous hazard maps, proposes a new map by the website whose effectiveness is demonstrated through practical experiments.
