Abstract
Evacuation drills should be conducted repeatedly in various conditions. Therefore, we have implemented game-based evacuation drill inside Google Street View (GSV) to realize evacuation drills in GSV with high situational (evacuation scenario) and visual realities (digital materials). In the evacuation drill, people can (1) participate easily and safely in evacuation drills regardless of time, place, weather, and their conditions, (2) participate in various evacuation drills for their local regions and other places, and (3) repeat the same evacuation drills with routes or behaviors that differ from their previous drills. We experimentally found that this type of evacuation drill has strong potential as a new evacuation drill.

Notes
- 1.
“Bosai Yattosar” means “Let’s prevent disasters!” in Tokushima dialect (a regional dialect) in Japan.
- 2.
Currently, the application cannot display slideshows and single-choice questions and therefore cannot deal with the “Option Selected” and “Correct or Wrong” branching conditions.
