Abstract
In this study, the flood analysis is conducted to grasp the flood condition to evaluate the evacuation behavior under the flood caused by storm surge. In addition, the evacuation behavior under the flood condition is analyzed. As a consequence, it is found that the evacuation route and completion time depends on the existence or non-existence of flood. Under the flood condition, the jam-up is caused by many agents crowding the shelters since many roads and shelters are poorly functioning. Therefore, the residents should not grasp only the nearest shelter from domicile but also the shelter that is extremely has less possibility to be inundated with storm surge. In addition, it is necessary to evacuate even if the flood of storm surge is not recognized.
