Document Gou Saigai Nishinihon Gou No Hisai Chi Wo Tazunete

[Machine Translation] The torrential rainstorm that hit western Japan in July 2018 (Heisei 30) killed more than 200 people nationwide. There were several factors that contributed to the spread of damage, one of which was the delay in evacuation. Looking at the evacuation rate, for example, in Hiroshima Prefecture, evacuation advisories and instructions were issued to a maximum of 2.36 million people, of which only 17,000 people (0.8%) were confirmed to have evacuated to shelters. Why do people delay in evacuating? And what should be done to evacuate quickly in case of emergency? In addition to realistically reconstructing the disaster site through the full-length documentary by a spirited nonfiction writer, the book also includes interviews with experts in disaster psychology and meteorology. An essential book for survival in the age of catastrophe.
