Abstract

The evacuation simulation is carried on so as to grasp the evacuation behavior in storm surge flooding. In the result, the number of people who can complete to evacuate are increased by accelerating the starting time of evacuation. However, it is found that many people can be involved in the flooding despite the acceleration of the start of evacuation at a certain region. This is because that the time when the people pass a certain evacuation route is more or less same as the hitting time of flooding around the route. It is necessary to examine the evacuation behavior, such as the staying at a home, the start of evacuation, in reference to the numerical result which can expect the flooded area for any time and place since the evacuation behavior is different in a different region.
