It is more important that prevention and response in disaster management. There was a flood in Pakistan, 2010. There was also a flood of rainstorm that affected for several months in Thailand, 2011. Taiwan is located in the Western Pacific Typhoon zone and the Circum-Pacific seismic zone. The heavy rainstorm frequently caused flooding situation in Taiwan in recent years. Such as the 2012 flood occurred in the heavy rainstorm in northern Taiwan. The typhoons and floods frequently attacked Taiwan in history. The influence of affected time could be as short as a few hours, or maybe as long as several months. It is an important part of planning about refuge execution. This study constructed the evaluation items and sub-standards of assessing flood refuge via literature review, interviews with experts and observation. This study also built the reference evaluation standards of flood refuge via the relative weights and importance between evaluation factors by taking questionnaires with experts and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). According to analytic hierarchy process (AHP), this study surveyed each the evaluation items that included structural safety, location traffic, life function, and victims service, and sub-standards of assessing flood refuge. There are each three sub-standards under the evaluation items. According to the weight sequence in results, the top 5 items are elevation, non-flood potential zone, anti-flood facilities, evacuation route safety and seismic capacity. This study gave feedback and suggestions to the top 5 items as references of assessing flood refuge. Xinfeng Township of Hsinchu County was chosen as the experimental area for assessing. From the result of the assessments, we could give some suggestions to improve the existent refuges. Located on the north point of Hsinchu County, Xinfeng Township is next to the Taiwan Strait. The low-lying land just fitted the assumed disaster, flood, of this study. Two refuges of Xinfeng Township was chosen as evaluation objects. This study arranged timetables to evaluating by the results of the assessments. Finally, the study gave some feedback and suggestions to these refuges for reference.
