Abstract(in English) In the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, it is shown that 20% of citizens who could not hear the outdoor spoken announcement for the disaster prevention well. One reason for this may be that the technical standard of such sound system did not exist. The Acoustical Society of Japan established the technical research committee for outdoor acoustic mass-notification systems to promote research and development for improving speech transmission performance of outdoor sound system, and its installation technic. As the latest version of the result, " ASJ Technical Guideline for Outdoor Public Address Systems to cope with disasters (Ver.1) " was published on the web in July 2017. The purpose of this document is to present the method of confirming the performance of the outdoor sound systems and to promote the improvement of the performance to be met by clarifying the minimum requirement of such sound systems. This report summarizes the background of activities of the committee, and further problem to be solved.
