Abstract
 In this study, a survey by questionnaire was conducted on local government's disaster prevention measures as two years have passed since the tsunami disaster triggered by the Tohoku Region Pacific Coast Earthquake. The survey was conducted in 54 cities and towns in Chiba Prefecture and six cities and towns on the coast of Ibaraki Prefecture. The period for conducting the questionnaire survey was December 2012 through January 2013. In Sotobo, Chiba Prefecture, which suffered extensive damage, about 60 percent of respondents said that they failed to provide appropriate evacuation guidance. This figure is higher than in other areas. This shows that two years after the disaster, there is a difference in emergency planning between areas. Less than 20 percent of respondents in Uchibo and Sotobo said that they were able to put their experience of evacuation drills to good effect. Therefore, it was found that it is necessary to prepare evacuation drills in which residents can actively participate.
