Pedestrian-based Tsunami Evacuation Tactics for Vulnerable People using Community Assistance | Chapter 04 | Current Advances in Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 3

 The goal of this research was to employ community evacuation techniques to design a tsunami evacuation plan, as well as to conduct and analyse a drill, in order to provide resources for future selection of appropriate response tactics. This article covers tsunami evacuation techniques for vulnerable individuals receiving aid from response and support teams for community disaster prevention based on evacuation drills and actual catastrophe routes. Sixteen cases of evacuation behaviours were assessed herein through actual disasters and drills, and they were organised into three formations: (A) the "independent formation," which consists of five cases in which the vulnerable person receives evacuation support from family; (B) the "pick-up formation," which consists of seven cases in which support is provided by people who do not live in the same residence as the vulnerable person or from multiple supporters who pick up the vulnerable person; and (C) the "independent formation," which consists The merits and disadvantages of the A, B, and C forms, as well as the positional relationships between vulnerable people and supports, are examined in this study. Furthermore, via mapping and the construction of an adequate evacuation strategy, the potential risk to both supporters and vulnerable persons was mitigated.
