Abstract
 Numerical calculations of storm surge inundation prediction for the attack on the three great bays by the worst course of the largest typhoon have been done so far. The results are used as disaster prevention information such as hazard maps in central and local governments. However, although it is thought that it is offered as disaster information useful for local residents and children, in fact it is difficult to catch the disaster realistically. And we can't intuitively learn the actions to take in the event of a disaster. Therefore, in this research, we utilized VR (Virtual Reality) head mounted display (HMD) to intuitively understand the flooding condition even for people without expertise based on the result of the tidal floodation obtained by numerical calculation. We develop the virtual storm surge immersion experience system using a smartphone and evaluate its usefulness. Since HMD is mounted on a smartphone, it can be implemented at a low price of about 90, 000 yen per set, and operation is very easy.
