It emerged that great number of people evacuation activity is very difficult in the large scale disaster of Hurricane Katrina's high tidal wave inundation.

In Japan we must learn the difficulty and this paper analyze and suggest that we should prepare an evacuation action plan in the disaster of Typhoon high tidal wave inundation.

First problem is a tidal wave warning system. There was no warning system against tidal warning inundation, but against strong wind. So, people couldn't evacuate with accuracy. In Japan we must built a tidal wave warning system useful to evacuate with accuracy, and evacuation action plan and preparation.

So, as a second problem this paper suggest two step evacuation procedure.

Third problem is a shelter and last resort refuge. they should be proof against stop of lifelines and access routs.

Final problem is a combination between institute for disaster prevention.

This paper discusses the Disaster-Survival Notification System for cell-phone.

In recent year, many huge earthquakes and TSUNAMIs occurred around the world. There are many requirements to use cell-phone to get the disaster information and to use notify their disaster-survival information to their family.

So, we developed the Disaster-Survival Notification System for cell-phone, “LifeMail” and have operated the system. The LifeMail system is based on the web and e-mail. A lot of huge earthquakes and TSUNAMIs occurred between those though we had operated this system since 2003.

This paper discusses the development of Disaster-Survival Notification System and its operation.

A questionnaire survey was conducted in Miyazaki City after T0514 in order to investigate effective disaster information that derives an evacuation attitude. The disaster information, that enables inhabitants to easily understand their crisis of disaster outbreak and the serious situations in their residential district, is important to motivate their evacuation action. As pointed out in several disaster investigations, real time images of flood scene are effective for inhabitants to understand disaster conditions such as the crisis of river water flooding in their district. Further more, it is also effective to warn the evacuation directly through official public information. On the other hand, many experiences of flood disaster in the past do not derive the appropriate evacuation action when inhabitants could not get sufficient disaster information. In this case, inhabitants tend to evaluate their disaster risk too little, and some of them miss their evacuation action in appropriate time. Many inhabitants require the disaster information such as the real time image of a flood scene, a level of disaster risk and predicted values of the amount of rainfall and river water level. In this questionnaire survey, a large number of inhabitants require a construction of flood control facilities in future against a huge flood disaster exceeding a design discharge. On the other hand, the government tries to increase the disaster protection potential against an unexpected disaster exceeding a design level by applying a various flood control strategies to a conventional flood control project. It is important to make a common understanding for mitigation strategies against a huge disaster that exceeds a design level largely in future.

The manner in which earthquake intensity information is obtained and applied in Japan is in a state of constant revision. Increasingly, however, issues and problems are also brought to the forefront. After the occurrence of recent earthquakes, including the Mid Niigata Prefecture Earthquakes in 2004 and the Northwestern Chiba Prefecture Earthquake, critical assessments regarding earthquake intensity information have been issued. The problem regarding earthquake intensity information is nothing new; however, this problem has attracted increased attention since it was pointed out that the delay in the issuance of earthquake intensity information about the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995 caused a delay in the initial reaction to it. The reasons for this are that problems have become pronounced due to the increase of unmanned observation points and observation points that are not managed by the Meteorological Agency due to the transition of intensity observation from the sensation to the seismic intensity meter, and an increase in the focus on the rapidity of information release rather than earthquake intensity recording performance. However, as long as measurements are conducted by machine, problems must be expected. Therefore, based on lessons from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, it was decided that newly received but unconfirmed information on earthquakes of an intensity greater than 5 lower would be announced; however, this standard is still not applied effectively. There may be a need to review the delivery of earthquake intensity information, currently delivered as reference information for the purpose of understanding seismic conditions, to prioritize its use as conclusive information reflecting accurate seismic conditions.

The education for disaster prevention, such as disaster prevention training, is carried out in many universities and offices. But it isn't always actually effective in the view point of the contents and the limited educational target in many cases. Moreover, the training of all users for all the calamity situations is actually difficult, and it can be said that practical use of e-Learning is effective in these cases. And the intelligible education for disaster prevention by e-Learning is expected. In practical use of e-Learning, it is most important to raise participant's study volition and to make it continue, and such contents need to be created. This research aims to consider the necessity of e-learning as technique of education for disaster prevention. We measured the effect of e-learning system by the experimental method. The objects of the experiments are the office workers in high building and the pupils of elementary school. As the results it is clarified that e-learning system is effective to understand more complicated contents and to understand them in less time.

In this paper, we discussed psychology factor thought to be influence on the resident's Earthquake-Resistance Retrofitting selection. We put obstruction of grasp of accurate risk in question. Because many of disasters are incidences few, scarce events, residents feel vague risk acknowledgment and a certain kind of bias. Concretely, the existence of the bias that disturbed the acknowledgment of people's accurate consciousness of crisis by referring to the survey concerning the Earthquake-Resistance Retrofitting done in Shizuoka Prefecture April, 2006 from March was clarified. Moreover, concrete proposals are described how to transmit any disaster prevention information to these people.
