Abstract: Appropriate evacuation actions are required for tsunami evacuation. Tsunami disaster prevention training is a form of training intended to reduce tsunami evacuation time as much as possible and appropriately perform evacuation actions. This study analyses residents' evacuation actions in a non-tsunami-prone area over a long period of seven years and is novel in that it enables sufficient analysis of evacuation actions. This study examines the effects of the seven-year continuous disaster prevention trainings from 2013 to 2019, which were conducted by the Ishikawa prefecture, Kaga city, Miki district voluntary disaster prevention association, in Japan. The following four points are mentioned: 1) changes in content and evacuation actions that should be implemented during disaster prevention trainings; 2) how to respond to voluntary disaster prevention association to improve the safety of evacuation routes; 3) devising a voluntary disaster prevention association to make residents check how to operate evacuation shelters; 4) analysing evacuation actions by ages and determining ages that requires disaster prevention education.
