Evacuation flow when a major tsunami warning is issued

Kobe Airport (KOBE) is considered to be at very low risk of being flooded by a tsunami(maximum tsunami level: 3.9 m above sea level (T.P)), which is anticipated in theevent of the Nankai Trough mega earthquake, beyond the seawall.
However, if a major tsunami warning is issued for the coast of the Seto Inland Sea in
Hyogo Prefecture, passengers will be directed to the 4th floor (observation hall) of thepassenger terminal building for safety reasons.

1when an earthquake with an intensity ofKansai Airports Kobe has established a business continuity plan(BCP) to protect lives, mitigate damage, and restore airport
functions as soon as possible in the event of an earthquake ortsunami at Kobe Airport (KOBE). Based on the BCP, we will
guide you through an overview of the evacuation to be taken in
the event of an earthquake or tsunami. Airport operators arerequested to review the following information and make it known
to all relevant parties.

Earthquake emergency evacuation principles
When an earthquake with an intensity of lower 6 or greater strikes or a major tsunami
warning is issued, passengers at Kobe Airport (KOBE) are asked to evacuate to openair evacuation assembly areas, and once the building is found safe, they are asked tomove safe areas inside the building. (Passengers stay inside in the event of anearthquake with an intensity upper 5 or smaller.)
Kansai Airports Kobe will issue evacuation instructions and emergency
announcements (evacuation broadcast) immediately after a disaster strikes andprovide evacuation guidance led by security personnel.
After being activated, a task force provides systematic and comprehensive responses.

Evacuation flow in the event of an earthquake
An open-air evacuation assembly area has already been designated in case of anearthquake with an intensity of lower 6 or greater. The area is made known to people
in advance by displaying guidance signs.
The same applies to major tsunami warning events. (See no. 4 )Potential areas to accommodate evacuees upon returning to the facilities have been
designated through safety checks and identifying hazardous areas during normaltimes. In the event of a disaster, safety checks will be carried out again before they
are directed to these areas.8
