On-site Response Issues in Disaster Recovery of Public Civil Engineering Facilities Based on the Experience of the 2011 Kii Peninsula Flood

Abstract

Nearly 10 years have passed since the 2011 Kii Peninsula flood, and assessing the disaster response at that time is crucial in assembling a future disaster response system. This study is based on a questionnaire and hearing survey of successive construction managers (heads of local agencies in Wakayama Prefecture), as a construction administration in charge of disaster recovery of public civil engineering facilities. It examines the situation judgments and decisions that are made in the field response of disaster recovery, clarifies whether they were undertaken, and considers the issues that should be utilized for future disaster response.
