Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to develop Hazard map with the flooding depth changing according to passing time information and Disaster Imagination Game (DIG) for safe way to make evacuation. We picked up Tokai heavy rain in 2000 and Fukui flood in 2004 for our research. We use NHK archives’ video pictures to gather the data of flooding depth. We discuss the hazard map which has information of the flood depth changing according to time on Fukui Flood research. On Tokai heavy rain, we found that the reporter of the news program could not broadcast the effective information of the disaster. The person did not understand the whole situation of the disaster because of a lack of knowledge of geomorphological characteristics. We should develop adequate materials of the DIG.
