Abstract
In this study, we constructed disaster risk communication method on disaster prevention activity, contributed to the improvement of local disaster prevention capability. The method takes into consideration three steps: estimation of damage, investigation of countermeasures, and activities and verification. The effect of the method was investigated through activities in an elementary school district in Tsukuba City. As a result of cooperation of various local communities and risk communication while evaluating the inherent local risks and investigating countermeasures, roles and stakes of various local bodies with respect to disaster risk and the necessity of a contact system were confirmed. Based on these findings, by reviewing the existing disaster prevention system it was possible to construct a staged dispersed evacuation system and cooperating networks that included sharing information and supplies within the school district, etc., as well as to devise disaster prevention measures using social resources.
