Effectiveness of Disaster Prevention Learning for Residents to Recall Emergency Actions in Earthquake Fire

Abstract

It is estimated that the earthquake fire caused by Tokyo metropolitan earthquake will cause enormous human damage. The fire spread is characterized by a transition from a state in which the flame is small to a state in which multiple buildings spread. In order to prevent residents from being damaged by the earthquake fire, it is important that they should know many types of emergency actions so that they can respond to changes in the fire spread situation, and select emergency actions according to the fire spread situation as appropriate. In this study, we examined the formation of flexible coping behavior recall as the residents worked on disaster prevention learning and considered the situation and emergency actions at the time of the earthquake fire.
