Abstract
It is important to establish a strong system of agencies for protection against disasters. Also, the system of protection against disasters by the residents is necessary to be strengthen the system. We examined the roles of the protection agencies and the administrational institutions against disasters. The results are: 1) The mutual assistance agency relies on the administrational institution on a hardware surface., 2) On the software surface some systems of protection from disasters are under the control of the agencies, and some are under the control of the administrational institution., 3) The shelters are unable to meet the needs of people in any disaster. Thus, we should use of the existing institutions as evacuation areas., 4) The people working in the city in which they live tend to know the protocols of the disaster measures and to recognize the disaster maps well.
