This study identifies the problems of the current evacuation system and the possibility using Mizuka in flood-prone area. Concretely, the following three categories of items were reviewed. (1) whether residents followed a way of life that required them to evacuate to Mizuka, (2) whether the depth of water has increased compared to the past and whether Mizuka can be utilised according to the old standards applied during flooding events, and (3) whether there are still obstacles to wide-area evacuation in villages and whether evacuation shelters in the town need to be strengthened.
