To mitigate flood damage in urban areas, such preventive policy as disaster prevention program and evacuation procedures should be effectively established together with upgrading and expansion of sewerage systems and improvement of rivers. However, it is difficult to effectively design these measures unless the magnitude of flood is accurately estimated in advance on the basis of the physical conditions of the targeted area and the present states of sewerage system development and river improvement. In this paper, we describe and discuss the results of flood simulation that we performed using a synthetic flood simulation model, which enables us to integrally analyze the behavior of water in sewer pipes, rivers, and flood plain. Furthermore, we report some examples of examination of flood damage prevention manuals that we have drawn up on the basis of the simulation results.
