This study aims at understanding the relationship between seismic intensity and emergency responses in municipal governments by documental and hearing surveys. For this purpose I collected written documents, sometimes together with on-site hearings at several tens of municipal governments in 3 prefectures of Tottori, Shimane and Okayama, at which significant-to-moderate damage occurred. Using those data I made various analyses to elucidate the relation of activated emergency responses to the suffered seismic intensities and reconfirmed that the seismic intensity is a key index and takes a very important role at decision-making for emergency responses. This study revealed the lineup of emergency responses under each of seismic intensity classes.
