Usage Status of the Flood Crisis Management Water Level Gauge and Issues for Utilization in the Local Communities

Abstract

Recently, Flood Crisis Management Water Level Gauges have been installed, but their use as a disaster response of the local community has not progressed. In this research, a questionnaire survey was conducted in local governments of Mie Prefecture and the communities in Ise City, because gauges may not be fully utilized in the local communities. As a result of this survey, it was shown that the gauges are used by the local governments, but not by the local communities. The result shows the issues that residents are unaware of the gauges and have not determined how to utilize them yet.
