抄録

Lifeline facilities were severely damaged in 1995 Kobe earthquake disaster. And it has been reported that the emergency response and restoration process of lifelines suffered from the interconnection problems. Even now, almost 30 years after the Kobe case, it is easy to imagine that a similar phenomenon will occur in an earthquake disaster. In this study, the experts, and researchers in Lifeline Network Kansai (LiNK), examined the past damage cases and the status of countermeasures in Kobe area. In this paper, we present the results of the study of interconnection problems on energy related lifelines such as electricity and gas.
