Abstract
The purpose of this study is investigate evacuation measures against tsunami. Reduction of casualty by establishment of shelter were evaluated in every point of the region by the simulator. Based on the result, in the tsunami inundation zone, effective locations were found to be located inland rather than near the coast. Shelter on the coast, increases casualty by leading evacuees to hazardous area. On the other hand, shelter in the inland has a function as a guidance that indicates the direction to safe area. In conclusion, in the target area, it was found that the evacuation guidance is more effective than establishment of shelter.
