Research on Priority Work during Disasters in Special Needs Education Schools

through Surveys of All Schools in Mie

Abstract

In schools, disaster prevention plans and manuals are being developed along with training and disaster prevention education. In special-needs schools in particular, there is a movement to formulate business continuity plans that meet the needs of students with highly individualized disabilities. Therefore, we conducted a survey on how teachers think about the continuity of important business operations in the event of a disaster, as well as on their own disaster awareness and efforts. The results revealed that they consider the continuation of educational projects to be a low priority, and that they do not consider cooperation among teachers to be high.
