Abstract
After the Great East Japan Earthquake, many overseas governments issued advisories to their citizens in Japan to relocate to the western Japan or leave entirely. Through a questionnaire survey at the time of the disaster, the relationship between the advisories issues by overseas governments and the behavior of foreigners in Japan was investigated in order to examine the differences among people who did not follow the recommendations of their government. Three sample groups were created based on the advisory actions of overseas governments, and the characteristics of post-disaster action and disaster information collection were analyzed.
