Abstract

The paper describes the road transportation disturbance problems due to natural disaster. As for the risk related to the road, the management process from the risk finding to risk mitigation phase is described with the actual example of countermeasures in the public and private sector in Japan.The public sector usually applies seismic risk assessment when it takes the road transportation disturbance into account. However the private sector recognize the importance of the road function as a network system in thestandpoint of supply chain management of their business field, the road disturbance impact is not incorporated into their business continuity planning due to lack of the risk assessment information by public sector. Facing the competition in the market private sector and sometimes public sectorare forced to reduce redundancy, the society as a whole is more vulnerable to the natural disasters than ever. The private-public relation is important to collaborate to work with making the society more resilience and reducing the risk on transportation disturbance.
