Abstract
Many people could not evacuate from tsunami in spite of enough time for evacuation (more than half an hour) and warning information from the public agency in the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. The authors are forcusing on evacuee generation during the period between the strong shaking and starting evacuation. Regarding evacuee generation, the concept that all the stakeholders including inhabitants have an important role in the influence that people can start early evacuation has been attracting attention. Based on this concept, the authors are developing the simulation model for evacuee generation. In this study, we apply it to Kadonowaki district where the huge tsunami hit and caused a lot of damages in the 2011 Tohoku tsunami and make discussions on evacuee generation in this area. The result of this simulation reveals that it was getting difficult to start evacuation as the time passes because of fewer information sources. In addition, it was getting difficult for people in the coastal area to start evacuation because of fewer information sources.
