Abstract
The authors investigate various influential factors (tsunami wave related and evacuation related factors) on the fatality rate in the 2011 disaster. The tsunami wave related factors were the maximum inundation height and its arrival time in each target area, and the evacuation related factors were evacuation starting time and the distance to evacuation areas. Results indicate that the fatality rate increases with elevated tsunami height and its faster arrival time along with longer distance for evacuation, despite little influence of slower evacuation starting time.
