In each region, research on the impact assessment method against strong earthquakes has been carried out and the plan for disaster prevention has been prepared based on the result. However, the prepared plan may not be sufficient,because it has been only based on an observation of a single research on the level of estimated damages. It is also important to consider the coordination among different municipalities in the region to work closely together in response to the damages, when preparing a comprehensive plan for disaster prevention for the region.As objectives of this paper, the ability to cope with the damages by single municipality is evaluated and the assessment method is also established to prove the usefulness of measures taken by the region-wide across municipality boundary.
