Abstract
In this report, two evacuation drills were conducted for Vietnamese technical intern trainees
in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, under the assumption of an earthquake. As a result, it is
highly likely that the method based on this training will be effective for other foreign technical
intern trainees to participate in evacuation drills. In addition, this method may be used more
effectively in evacuation drills if 3 hours of advance education on“easy Japanese”is provided
to evacuation guide staff, English and illustrations (pictograms) are used on “flipboards”, the
size of the “flipboard” is A2, and the font size is 100 points or larger.
