It can be seen that numbers of people who experience vague but menacing apprehensions do not evacuate in case of disaster which involves an advantage of time for occurrence of disaster, such as flooding or Tsunami, due to their own behavior to search more disaster information until dispelling their apprehensions. In this paper, we discuss an evacuation guidance scheme considering the above people's motivation to search disaster information.
As a result, the possibility of converting the above no-evacuated people into evacuated people is found out by setting up the condition of evacuation spaces which can satisfy people's demands for disaster information, thorough a mathematical modeling of decision-making process for multiple behavior patterns, namely, an evacuation behavior, a searching behavior for disaster information, a reduction behavior in a damage of own household possessions, and an ordinary behavior without any additional actions against disaster.
