Workshop on developing an evacuation system for residents from lava flows associated with the eruption of Mt. Fuji

Abstract

 In March 2023, a basic evacuation plan was released for Mt. Fuji. This evacuation plan is a complete revision of the previous evacuation plan. It presents an evacuation concept that incorporates walking as a means of transportation for evacuation in the event of an eruption of Mt. Fuji. The revision of the evacuation plan has completely changed the premise of the evacuation concept for residents living near the foot of Mt. Fuji. In this paper, we report on the results of a workshop designed based on the CAUSE model, a risk communication method, and conducted for residents in Mt. Fuji. Furthermore, based on the results of the workshop, we summarized the findings for the establishment of a community-based volcano evacuation system.
