Abstract
In disaster management, local governments are the principal actor to mitigate the damage as much as possible. During disaster management activities, staff of local governments learn know-how during disasters. This know-how is quite important for managing future disasters. However, the members of a division are usually changed once every several years. So, the system for sharing the experiences and know-how of disaster management is indispensable. In order to do level up the skill of a disaster management division, several seminars have been conducted by the central government. However, the number of these is limited due to budget. The knowledge and skills are not shared well because lack of communication. In this study, we propose an educational program, which firstly educates some staff as experts and the experts educate all the rest of the local staff. We started the program in April 2019. This system enables education in a local government system.
