Abstract
This study attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of earthquake preparedness to the improvement of regional resilience by analyzing the reliability of road network based on the safety of human life. This reliability analysis extracts vulnerable points to the reachability of fire truck and ambulance and the evacuation of residents. By comparing the reinforcement of extracted elements with the ongoing plan, this paper demonstrates that the proposed preparedness based on the regional resilience more improves the safety of residents with the enhancement of the continuity of road network. The assessment of earthquake preparedness from various viewpoints is necessary to predict and minimize the seismic crisis. In this paper, it was implied that the evaluation that put a priority on the human life could be a criterion for the improvement of regional resilience.
