Abstract
Tsunami evacuation measures are now an urgent issue in Japanese coastal area. One of important actions for the mitigating damages is the evacuation drill. However past tsunami evacuation drills mostly have not been supposed seismic disaster damage condition. Though, after big earthquake, residents in tsunami inundation estimated area might be needed to evacuate any safety zone in the situation of any damages attacked by seismic motion. Therefore, a practical evacuation drill was carried out in Kuroe and Hunoo district of Kainan City. This area is the tsunami inundation estimated area against the Nankai Earthquake. In the evacuation drill, it was assumed that some roads and evacuation sites were blocked, and there were injured persons and vulnerable people. This paper examined regional evacuation problems and residents' perceptions of these risks and the evacuation drill. The possibility and problems of the evacuation drill was also discussed.
