[Uwajima City Commissioned Project "Reiwa 6th Year Experience-Based Disaster Prevention Program"]

Organized by: Tsushima Junior High School

Cooperation: Uwajima City Crisis Management Division, Disaster Prevention Awareness Project Storytellers

-Through this experience, participants will develop an interest in disaster prevention and mitigation, and will be able to act calmly in the event of a future Nankai Trough earthquake or other recent disasters, and will develop a sense of urgency and preparedness.

・We will have a storyteller from Chiba Prefecture talk about her experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and based on that, we will think about what kind of damage will occur if a huge earthquake occurs in the Nankai Trough in Uwajima City, and incorporate that into our future activities. We will also raise interest in the meal of the hot water pocha recipe created by the students of the home economics club of Uwajima East High School Tsushima Branch in Tsushima Town.

Approximately 200 people

Eiichi Miyamoto, a victim of the Great East Japan Earthquake in Shimonagai district, Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture, shared his experiences. The tsunami arrived about an hour after the earthquake, but he never expected it to reach him. He was swept away by the tsunami because he had not evacuated, and he conveyed the horror of the tsunami at that time through videos and photos.

The students also commented that they need to prepare for future disasters and discuss the situation with their families.

After the lecture, a collection of hot water recipes for emergencies created by the Home Economics Club of Uwajima Higashi High School Tsushima Branch was distributed, and participants were encouraged to make these recipes at home with their families in preparation for future disasters.
