Framing-type and Simple Multi-use Building-type Tsunami Evacuation Facilities

摘要

In Japan, huge earthquakes such as the Tokai Earthquake, Tonankai Earthquake and Nankai Earthquake are forecasted to occur in the near future. Given this situation, improvements of tsunami evacuation facilities started in 2004 in Shizuoka Prefecture, Mie Prefecture, Wakayama Prefecture, Tokushima Prefecture and other prefectures that are likely to suffer tsunamis associated with such large-scale earthquakes. Further, triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, improvements of tsunami evacuation facilities are being promoted nationwide.
