| Research Abstract |
In this study, we presented the methods and process of the establishment of a sufficing and distributed energy and water base for the living continuity in the case of lifeline disruptions during a disaster. The presented methods and process are based on an investigation of the energy and water demand and resource availability in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Moreover, we also conducted an investigation on the damage to channels of supply and the consumers' attitude during the lifeline disruptions that occurred during the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. We considered not only important buildings like hospitals but also residential ones and clarified the actual conditions regarding the availability of the electricity, gas and water during the post-disaster period.
