Abstract

This paper presents a method for optimization of allocation of destinations of evacuees from a tsunami in an urban area. We tried to apply the method for evacuation planning in Daini-chiku in Numazu City. We considered arrangement and capacities of tsunami refuge buildings, evacuees' dwelling places and the amount of time it would take for a Tsunami to reach each refugee in the area. When we calculated for optimization, we modified the conditions of the starting time of evacuation after considering the speed of an earthquake tremor and walking speed of evacuees. We discovered an area that would be difficult for Tsunami evacuation of vulnerable people (walking speed :0.5m/s).
