Caption of Fig. 2 (a)-(g) from the mentioned source: "Fig. 2. The six cities in which interviews were conducted. (a)–(g) the map of he interviewed area of each city shown with topographic contour lines at 50m intervals. The inundation areas of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (light blue) are provided by the Association of Japanese Geographers ({6}, No. 6 in Table 1). The red lines show the tsunami inundation limits that were forecasted in 2006 by the Iwate and Miyagi prefecture offices, based on the scenario earthquakes A, B, and C in Fig. 7 (Iwate and Miyagi prefecture offices {12}, No. 12 in Table 1). The forecast inundation limits at each site were taken as the highest values among the three models. Numerals are inundation or runup heights of the observed 2011 tsunami in meter (Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami Joint Survey Group {5}, No. 5 in Table 1). The major difference is in height; the 2011 tsunami wave heights were 2–5 times higher than the forecasted heights. Each map shows the percentages of the population (left bar) and the deaths (right bar) for three age groups (0–15, 16–64, and 65 and above from bottom to top), where the data were collected from Tani (2012). Subdivision maps Takada and Hirota of Rikuzen-Takada city are depicted separately to compare evacuation behaviours between the two divisions, where the tsunami has wave heights of 12–15 m. Takada is the main subdivision of the city of Rikuzen-Takada, a commercial and business town lying in a wide lowland sand dune. Hirota is also in Rikuzen-Takada and is located in narrow lowlands, where slopes have developed between hills and the seawater is visible almost everywhere. Topographic profiles along Takada (h) and Hirota (i) are shown with a line of 15 m. The number of interviewees who felt the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake at each location is depicted in Fig. A in Supplement on the same map as Fig. 2."
