Abstract

An inundation depth prediction device includes: a flow speed value acquiring unit that acquires a flow speed value on the sea surface; and an inundation depth predicting unit that predicts an inundation depth on the ground by inputting the flow speed value acquired by the flow speed value acquiring unit to a learned inundation depth prediction model used for predicting the inundation depth on the ground from the flow speed value on the sea surface.
