A Study on Emergency Relief Transport Utilizing Port Function for To-nankai and Nankai Earthquake

Abstract

The disaster reduction facilitating emergency relief transport is one of the important tasks to manage the extensive disaster that caused by To-nankai and Nankai earthquake. Marine transport plays important roles in such disaster managementbecause of it's massiveness of transportation capacity. Especially preparing forthe case that tsunami debris close port facilities, it is necessary to develop the framework for efficient transport. With this purpose in mind, this paper compiles the estimation methods on the amount of debris for the removal planning, and quantifies the effect of early opening of port using the network analysis method. As the result of the test estimation in Wakayama prefecture, amount of debris, removal workload and the efficiency of marine transport on emergency were quantified.
