2025.6.28 Uwajima Saturday School Mima Class Disaster Prevention Lecture

🧻 Disaster Toilet Experience

It was confirmed that anxieties such as "I need to go to the bathroom after eating" and "I worry about the bathroom when I drink" increase the risk of health problems during a disaster.

Participants experienced the difference in absorption by actually putting newspaper, pet sheets, and a hardening agent into a portable toilet, simulating a home toilet. They also actively presented their own ideas on how to dispose of waste.

One participant even said, "Newspaper isn't as absorbent as other things, but I'll make sure to keep some newspaper from now on."

🧴 Disaster Prevention Bottle Making

Participants created "their own disaster prevention kits" by filling bottles with necessary disaster prevention items, mostly from 100-yen shops. The items they chose varied, including lights, compressed towels, oral care products, whistles, food, and medicine.

Today, each person took home two items. They also shared other things they wanted to include, and many insights were generated to take home to their families, such as "I want to make some for my family too," "I forgot to prepare for the toilet," and "I'll check the expiration dates of the food in my emergency bag at home!"

📢 Message from the organizer

I'm glad we had the opportunity to discuss this, as toilet preparations are often put on the back burner.
