We studied the effectiveness of electronic deer whistles in scaring away sika deer that are likely to run onto roads, resulting in accidents. These whistles have been used in the U.S.A. and other countries. In this study, two types of deer whistles were tested: one that has a continuous tone with a fixed frequency (Whistle A) and the other that has an intermittent tone with a modulated frequency (Whistle B). To assess the effectiveness of the whistles in alerting deer, the deer's reactions to the whistles were observed by blowing the whistle from a fixed place that is visible to the deer when they appear by the roadside. For the control sample, deer's behavior when no whistle was blown was observed. When no whistle was blown, 51% of the deer were on alert about the observers. When Whistle A was blown, 67% of the deer were on alert; this figure increased to 95% when Whistle B was blown. The time durations for which the deer were alert when no whistle was blown, Whistle A was blown, and Whistle B was blown were 20%, 42%, and 73%, respectively. These results indicated that the deer whistles are effective in alerting deer, and that Whistle B is more effective than Whistle A. Vehicles can be equipped with deer whistles to alert deer about on-coming vehicles so as to prevent them from crossing roads, and consequently reduce deer-vehicle collisions.

Historically, many disasters at Shimoniikawa Coast has occurred by high waves called Yorimawarinami from east. The direction of longshore sand transport of the Shimoniikawa Coast is eastward. In Nyuuzen-machi and Asahi-machi located in the east from the Kurobe River mouth which becomes the source of supply of the sand, many houses moved because of beach erosion. In such circumstances, intense high waves by the low pressure hit these areas on February 24, 2008, so that coastal protection facilities in Kurobe-shi, Nyuuzen-machi and Asahi-cho got damaged and, furthermore houses were flooded and destroyed by overtopping waves.In this paper, various observation data in Shimoniikawa Coast of Yorimawarinami was analyzed by and the cause of the disaster was considered.
