Abstract
This research investigated tsunami evacuation in the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake. Many researchers shed light on the tsunami evacuation to save lives, and the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake was a case in which people were affected by the severe tsunami. Therefore, we conducted survey research on the residents at Ishikawa Prefecture to identify the actual condition of the tsunami evacuation and how disaster information promoted tsunami evacuation. Our team and the Kanazawa branch of Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) collected data from the residents and obtained 285 (male: 107, female: 140, unknown: 11) responses. As a result, nearly 60% of all respondents evacuated from the tsunami, regardless of whether they lived in hazardous zones on the hazard map. Additionally, many of them evacuated with their families. Regarding disaster information, we extracted three categories of residents based on the information that influenced their evacuation: “depending on others”, “depending on direct information and media”, and “depending on direct information and internal knowledge”. Implications for future disaster risk reduction are discussed.
