Summary Breakwaters, seawalls and the other structures have been constructed for tsunami protection measures. However, there is a possibility that such measures cannot completely prevent urban areas from tsunami flooding. For this reason, various methods of evacuation are proposed for citizens who are in danger of suffering damage from the flood. Therefore, we examine the effects of main evacuation methods and compile the evaluation methods.
