Recently the life damage is increasing due to the house disruption and burying accident by the landslide, and most of the damages are concentrating on the agricultural area. This study is a basic study for developing the personal disaster evacuation apparatus that can be installed in the house for the people in agricultural area vulnerable to the disaster in case of the landslide. This study carried out the numerical analysis and the object load test on the personal disaster evacuation apparatus. As a result of this study, it was judged the life damage could be minimized if the personal disaster evacuation apparatus using the glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) materials was installed in the steep slope-land with a high possibility of the disruption.

The emergency restoration scenarios for efficient railway accident management and restoration were developed. The emergency restoration procedures defined by the worst case of emergency restoration and the important events was proposed based on questionnaires from specialists and the result of survey. Via these studies, the railway accident in the tunnel could be the worst case among all railway accident types. Therefore, educations for a restoration team in confined area condition should be planned and performed to recover the worst case accident. In order for the emergency restoration, when a railway accident is occurred, the restoration should be performed in orders of handing collapse of facilities, burying track, and derailment of vehicle in tunnel based on the statistical analysis. The result of priorities were established by the period of restoration. The standard operation system for efficient railway accident management was developed by synthesizing the worst case for rapid emergency restoration, and important events for the standard operation procedures according to each emergency restoration type. Through this study, the restoration operation system of railway accident are recommended. This paper suggests to develop emergency restoration scenarios for the efficient railway accident management and recovery system. The study results will contribute not only for insuring punctuality, but also for minimizing delays from accidents. Therefore, emergency restoration scenarios will play a major role in the SOP for the damage limitation and the prevention of accident spread.
