Road and City Resilience Plans from the Perspective of Providing Emergency Relief Supplies in the Event of a Disaster

Abstract

Until now, urban disaster prevention plans have mainly focused on strengthening the structure of buildings and evacuation plans. However, securing daily supplies after evacuation will be an issue in the future.

In this paper, we look back on the issues occurring, and countermeasures taken, in past earthquake disasters, organize a logistics concept for providing emergency relief supplies, and show three related countermeasures. Finally, we clarify a plan to strengthen roads and urban facilities assuming the need for emergency relief supplies.
