DEVELOPMENT OF EVACUATION ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR FLOOD EVENTS AND VERIFICATION OF APPLICABILITY TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The objective of this study is to construct an refuge action analysis system utilizing GIS. The system aims at supporting evacuation planning such as selection of appropriate shelters, escape routes for evacuees and decision of timing for issuing evacuation orders or advisories. Results of precise inundation analyses with various flood conditions are introduced to the system,making the refuge action analysis suitable to probable phenomena during floods.

For the purpose of putting the system into practice, the applicability of this system to emergency management is verified in this study.
