In order to obtain the lesson interviews were made with the leader of inhabitants council of Hokuyo-machi and with members in the Park Department of Nagasaki City Office, and a consciousness survey was carried out for inhabitants of Hokuyo-machi with questionnaires. As a result it is revealed that the discovery of sign phenomenon of cracking at the slope, the evacuation of inhabitants spontaneously before the slope failure, and the combination of inhabitants council, city office and police office which addressed the evacuation of inhabitants by themselves were very effective to save inhabitants lives.
