Summary A simulation model is developed for disaster recovery process of critical infrastructures. The model is based on the system dynamics and the interdependency among critical infrastructures is taken into account. A simulation of earthquake damage spreading in the Tokyo metropolitan area is carried out and the effects of the interdependency is investigated.
