Abstract
To raise public awareness of disaster prevention, this article discusses how the design for disaster prevention information should be. Recent development in expression and technology for information transmission allows information to be visualized in various ways in disaster prevention and disaster planning. Based on examples of design for disaster prevention such as hazardmaps, we discuss what people perceive frompublic information to achieve designs using those technologies for visualized information that appeals to them.
