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

Organized by: Jonan Junior High School

Cooperation: Non-profit organization Uwajima NPO Center

-Through this experience, participants will develop an interest in disaster prevention and mitigation, create a system that will enable them to act calmly in the event of a future Nankai Trough earthquake or the disasters that have occurred in recent years, and develop a sense of crisis and the ability to be prepared.

・We will hold a disaster prevention bottle workshop using 100 yen store materials that can be put in your everyday bag, and you can put them in your carry-out bag, in your club bag, or at home, so that your family members can bring their own carry-out bags. We will also hold a disaster prevention lecture for toilets in the event of a disaster.

Jonan Junior High School

Approximately 120 people

The students were divided into three classrooms and learned about toilets in times of disaster, a disaster prevention bottle workshop, and emergency evacuation bags. They learned how to use portable toilets in times of disaster, and how to use toilets when evacuating at home, and experienced the differences between coagulants, pet sheets, and newspapers. In the disaster prevention bottle workshop, they chose and made their own disaster prevention bottles that can be purchased at any 100 yen shop and can be carried around at all times. They were encouraged to take them home, fill them with extra items they need, and prepare one for each family member at home.

I had students memorize what items they should have in their emergency evacuation bags at the very least, and checked the contents of each student's bag. Some items were more than a year past their expiration date, and there were considerable individual differences. I also asked them to review the contents again.

The students were pleased, saying that this type of disaster prevention was fun and that disaster prevention had always been difficult, but they were able to learn about it in a fun way.
