The actual situation of the local evacuation shelter registration system was grasped from officers in charge of disaster prevention in the local government. Besides, a structural model of residents' disaster prevention behavioral intentions regarding local evacuation shelters was verified. As results, municipalities expected to secure shelters by establishing local evacuation shelters, but because they could not guarantee the conditions and safety of the shelters, they had not informed the residents. Besides, in areas with local evacuation shelters, residents' awareness of community interaction and descriptive normative awareness increased their intentions for disaster prevention actions at local evacuation shelters. Routineness bias lowered descriptive norms. The descriptive norm was caught between awareness of community interaction and routine bias. In addition, the structural model presented in this paper was suitable for cases where the residents were mainly active in the local area and had a sense of affinity with the community association.
