Preventive measures against flood were surveyed and prediction of flood disaster was made in Nishi Ward of Osaka City, which contains high flood risk areas. The findings are as follows. (1) More than 80% of surveyed buildings have a potential flood risk due to lack of flood protection measures. (2) Flood protection board is good for barrier-free entrance, while mound-up is not. The problem is not all entrances are not planned or designed for convenience of setting up flood protection board. (3) In order to make preventive measures more effective, so-called software measures are requisite in disaster prevention planning.
