Abstract

Comparative observations are made between Japan and the US regarding disaster management plans for transportation systems. This attempt is aimed at arousing constructive discussion for the enhancement of situations in Japan. Following the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake, the various emergency plans had to be substantially revised in Japan. On the other hand, the emergency plans in the US California State have been often upgraded to extended countermeasures. They may be characterized by their advanced flexible contingency plans. This article describes the features of the latest emergency plans of transportation systems in California, and shows those summaries in Japan and California. In California, the Office of Emergency Services is unified and the emergency manuals are improving. Whereas the emergency plans of transportation systems in Japan have been progressed largely after the earthquake disaster, it is made clear that prompt operation is difficult due to lack of the cooperation among the different offices for emergency services.
