Abstract
In Iwate Prefecture, as part of "Iwate's reconstruction education," junior high schools also offer disaster prevention education classes for three years using the time for integrated study. The authors have been working together as experts and teachers on disaster prevention education classes at Kamaishi Junior High School for four years from 2017. In this activity, with the aim of shifting from the conventional form of disaster prevention education that relies heavily on specialists to a form led by teachers, we prepared and managed classes while being aware of the division of roles and efforts of specialists and teachers. After accumulating disaster prevention education contents for three years, in the fourth year, we examined disaster prevention learning that can be taught by school teachers, and asked the class teachers to take charge of disaster prevention education classes. In addition, as the ongoing efforts were made, the teachers began to refer to the knowledge of experts specializing in regional disaster prevention. Then, teachers came to propose disaster prevention education efforts in collaboration with local organizations such as neighborhood associations and residents' associations. In other words, there was a movement from school disaster prevention to regional disaster prevention through cooperation between schools and the community.
