Large-scale floods have been occurring more frequently in Japan as a result of current global weather anomalies, yet evacuation procedures face several issues. These include low evacuation rates of citizens, wide-area evacuation by car, and residents who cannot evacuate on their own. For example, in the Kofu Basin, Yamanashi Prefecture, due to the size of the potential inundation area and a population that exceeds 300,000 people spread across 10 municipalities, a large number of residents would have to evacuate across municipal boundaries by car. The author proposed and applied a risk communication method to the Riverside District, Chuo City (with about 1400 households and a population of about 4000), assisting in developing a community disaster management plan for wide-area evacuation without a single victim in case of floods, which has been in place for three years. The next step was risk communication to key stakeholders, such as national, prefectural, and municipal governments. Finally, a public symposium on large-scale evacuation in the Kofu Basin was held. During the panel discussion with representatives of the Kofu River and National Road Office, prefectural government of Yamanashi, the municipality, community residents, and the author as panelists, the role of each stakeholder in area-wide evacuation was clarified and confirmed.
由于当前全球天气异常，日本大规模洪水的发生频率越来越高，但疏散程序面临几个问题。这些问题包括公民疏散率低、汽车进行大面积疏散以及无法自行疏散的居民。例如，在山梨县甲府盆地，由于潜在淹没面积大，人口超过 30 万，分布在 10 个市，因此需要大量居民通过汽车跨市进行疏散。作者在中央区（约有 1400 户家庭，人口约 4000 人）提出并应用了一种风险沟通方法，协助制定了一个在发生洪水时没有一个人受灾的大面积疏散社区灾害管理计划，该计划已经实施了三年。下一步是向国家、县和市政府等主要利益攸关方进行风险沟通。最后，在甲府盆地举行了一次大规模疏散问题公共研讨会。在与甲府河和国道办公室、山梨县政府、市、社区居民以及作者本人作为小组成员的代表进行小组讨论时，明确并确认了每个利益攸关方在全面疏散中的作用。
