Abstract
We practiced disaster prevention education using regional information by Geographical Information System (GIS) as a unit of “Natural blessings and disasters”of the third grade of lower secondary school “science” In addition, after practicing the classes, we released from the Internet to students'guardians both outline of this disaster prevention education and regional information on disaster prevention. This class practice showed that the use of regional
information through GIS (map information) was effective in improving students'interest in and understanding of natural disasters. From the results of the questionnaire to the guardians, the published content was highly evaluated. It was also found that such attempts contribute to the improvement of opportunities to discuss natural disasters at home.
