3 Background Clmate change wll brng an ncrease n frequency and severty of flood. Current flood control polcy has been mplemented based on the plan n absence of perspectve on adaptaton to clmate change. The measure of cost and beneft should be examned wth the perspectve on adaptaton. 3

4 The heavy ranfall havng 100 year recurrence nterval Toka heavy ran dsaster, September % of cty area was flooded n Nagoya Nagoya s a central cty of Toka area wth populaton of 2 mllon. The flood caused by overflow banks. Most of recent floods n urban area are nland floodng. Somewater overflowed Nagoya s10 dkes. Tokyo metropoltan govt prepared flood hazard map.
