Regarding 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, more than 20,000 people were killed or missing. In addition, more than 90% of killed people were due to tsunami. Many people could not or did not evacuate from tsunami despite enough evacuation time and warning information. The awareness of danger in a community increases by not only information given by the governments and the mass media but also behaviors of people in a community. After their awareness reaches their upper limit, they start evacuation. In this study, authors developed the simulation model for the initiation process of community's tsunami evacuation focusing on awareness of danger in a community. Authors verified the model with simple conditions, and validated in the case study of an elderly care facility which was attacked by the 2011 Tohoku tsunami.
