Study on the Evaluation Method of Human Loss including Evacuation Process from Tsunami

Abstract

In order to estimate human loss caused by tsunamis, we proposed the method in consideration of resident's evacuation process that affected human behaviors and loss greatly. The process can be divided into three steps after earthquake, which could be modeled in this study. Factors affecting the evacuation can be statically clarified through the questionnaire survey of the evacuation process. And we evaluated the effective method and proposed the developed human loss evaluation method considering a local evacuation characteristic. Finally we applied it and carried out the evaluation of human loss in the target area
