SIMULATION ANALYSIS ON HUMAN CASUALTY CAUSED BY EARTHQUAKE AND FOLLOWING TSUNAMI

Abstract

House collapse due to earthquake causes the trouble to evacuation from tsunami by lead to road blockage. Therefore, it is important to consider damage due to earthquake to examine evacuation plan from tsunami. The purpose of this study is to develop the comprehensive scenario simulator that expresses a regional situation from earthquake occurrence to tsunami attack. This simulator can express a practical human casualty that considers influence of house collapse, road blockage and tsunami inundation at the time of evacuation from tsunami. As for test case, we applied the simulator to tsunami prone area. Effectiveness of earthquake-proof promotion was examined by running the simulator with several scenarios.
