Abstract
 The Great East Japan Earthquake, about 60% of the victims of the tsunami was 65 years of age or older. In consideration of the aging society of the future, evacuation of vulnerable people who are unable to get away alone has become a pressing issue.
 However, we believe that individual plans of vulnerable people shall not proceed, so a system that supports them is required.
 Therefore, we have developed a scenario simulator that can be used as a target area where the tsunami is expected to see an animation action of supporters and vulnerable people to evacuate. A feature of the developed system, is that it assumes the traffic inhibition, it can be confirmed evacuation of all households, evacuation behavior of supporters and vulnerable people, the evacuation behavior of arbitrary households.
 In the future, we will incorporate into the conditions of the tsunami in the system, and, along with the residents, come up with an individualized program of vulnerable people reviewing the inhibition place from the point of expert's viewpoints.
