Device to rescue drowned people in the tsunami water by lifting them up to the water surface taking advantage of tsunami water flow. At the same time the device constitute refuge from tsunami.
The device can constitute various types of facilities that can constitute SAFETY NET OF LIVES and EVACUATION NETWORK in the region.
(PATENTED)
Evacuation lifting method for elderly and handicapped people: Utilizing counter weight or body weight of the helper, it functions without electricity.
Combination facilities of TSUNAMI RESCUE FACILITIES and sea walls with flap gates brings benefits: Flooded water can be drained safely from the region. It can be applied not only to sea walls but to river banks.
Structure mechanism that can be applied to disaster prevention related facilities, etc. which can be stored flat in road or ground. In the event of a tsunami or flood, it rises by harnessing the energy of the water stream.
The above image is a TSUNAMI RESCUE FACILITIES with debris guards constructed in the retractable mechanism. By providing power, the retractable mechanism can be applied to normal use facilities that can be stored in the ground surface when not in use. (PATENTED)
Filter for stick-shaped debris drifting in tsunamis/floods. It filters long timber etc, that tend to share huge volume of tsunami/flood debris due to demolition of wooden houses.
It can be designed to function as TSUNAMI RESCUE FACILITIES by introducing the caught stick-shaped debris along its slits to incline to form the surface of TSUNAMI RESCUE FACILITIES to lift up drifted people.
Normally it functions as an observation platform or a management facility of a harbor, but at the time of a tsunami or other disasters, it becomes a evacuation destination and simultaneously functions as a base for rescue activities from land, sea and sky.
Proposal and technical consideration of tsunami/flood evacuation car that can float by the buoyancy of the air bag and insulation material filled in the gap space. (detail page in preparation)
I suppose some people come up with such a car.
During common use, air bags installed around the perimeter of the car swell just before the collision as per the instruction from computer system to secure the safety of the driver and passengers, and at the same time, to protect the opponent who collides.
In addition, urethane foam filling the gap of the car body enhances heat insulation and reduces air conditioning energy.
When a tsunami or flood strikes, it activates the airbag system by sensing flooding and floats like a rubber boat to evacuate due to the buoyancy of the airbag, insulation material and other voids.
Structural system that can prevent from receiving a huge dynamic load from a water stream by a tsunami or a flood.
If applied to the walls of buildings, the walls can be flown off or rotated to open to avoid building collapse.
Moreover, utilizing this mechanism, it is possible to constitute a special fence that can function as TSUNAMI RESCUE FACILITIES by rotating when flooded. (PAT.P)
Nowadays, research is under way to grasp the kaleidoscopic situation of the earthquake and tsunami that has just occurred, to promptly predict the progress of the disaster in the near future using AI for effective evacuation. We propose evacuation direction system that leads evacuees to the safest nearby shelters with special light indicators that illuminate based on the analysis of such IoT systems.
The indicators guide the evacuees to the best evacuation destination with their light colors, etc. seeable from where he or she is.

Combining WALL RELEASING SYSTEM FOR PARRYING WATER FLOW and TSUNAMI RESCUE FACILITIES (fence type device) for building walls realize a building proofed well for tsunamis and floods: Reduces the force of water flow to avoid demolition and saves the residents drowned in the water inside the building promptly after flooded, not limited to the people cast ashore from outside of the building.
In addition, we propose various technologies such as locking and deformation mechanism, lifting evacuation system, etc. to realize further proofed building against tsunamis and floods.
Please also refer to the WALL RELEASING SYSTEM FOR PARRYING WATER FLOW and
Condominium that can function as a TSUNAMI RESCUE FACILITIES by releasing walls and rotating fences that are applied with STRUCTURAL SUSPENSION SYSTEM / WALL RELEASING SYSTEM FOR PARRYING WATER FLOW" when flooded.
TSUNAMI EVACUATION ELEVATOR can evacuate elderly people and people with disability to the upper floor in the state of power loss due to tsunami and flooding. (Detail page in preparation)
Buoyancy material attached to the bottom of the elevator car lifts it up according to the flooded water level when a tsunami or a flood attacks.
When evacuate, evacuees must get on the car before the rising water reaches around the floor level. During water level is rising, basically the evacuees wait in the car which is being pushed up by the water. When the water level drops, the reverse check mechanism stops the car at the nearest floor so the evacuees evacuate safely to the floor.
Proposal of a loft shelter (survival space) for tsunamis and floods utilizing the back space of the false ceiling that is usually useless space except for ducting/wiring.
If the building structure is reinforced concrete, it can be planned and constructed very easily.
(Partially PAT.P)

For others, we propose ideas/methods for disaster prevention such as followings (detail pages are in preparation):
The ideas/methods introduced in this page are basically work without electricity that is expected to lose in the severe disaster and most of them are designed to function by taking advantage of natural energy, such as, water flow, in passive way.
