It is difficult to evaluate the street network accessibility after a large earthquake occurs. In this paper, we construct a model to evaluate the street network accessibility for wide-area emergency behaviors under the condition of property damage in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area after a large earthquake. Additionally, we analyze the relationships between a local environment and street network accessibility by using multiple regression analysis. Finally, we discuss some important factors for evaluating risk mitigation strategies.
