Abstract

Amami Oshima islands also needs to take measures against typhoon storm surges due to global warming. The residence of Uken Village is located on the alluvial lowlands surrounded by mountains and the sea, and most of them are below 5 m above sea level. In this presentation, evacuation targets and evacuation areas are examined for each inundation stage, and issues were organized to estimate the number of evacuees. In order to implement evacuation plans for all residents, it is a future task to grasp the ground height of the village and review the standards of the storm surge warning.
