Abstract

 The Hokkaido tsunami joint survey group performed a questionnaire survey on tsunami evacuation behaviors of coastal residents in Hokkaido after the event of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake tsunami. This paper presents this survey result summarized in terms of evacuation procedures, conscious for the tsunami disaster and safety as well as disaster prevention education. It is found that a regional evacuation action plan requires being suitable to local landform and social composition, and that further enhancement of disaster prevention education is also necessary for minimizing the human damages owing to tsunamis expected in near future.
