It is important for citizens to recognize their seismic risk and to take measures to mitigate the damage caused by disasters. In order to examine the citizens' need for accurate and understandable seismic hazard and risk maps, we conducted surveys on our web-site. Based on the results, we developed accurate seismic hazard maps from seismic spectra evaluations using detailed ground models. In addition, fragility curves have been developed with regard to building characteristics. In conclusion, we proposed understandable seismic risk maps by combining these sets of data.
