SOPHISTICATION OF TSUNAMI EVACUATION BEHAVIOR IN KINDERGARTEN BY TRAINING METHOD USING THE DISASTER ACTION CARD

Abstract

 In the Great East Japan Earthquake, many schools were damaged by earthquake and tsunami, and a number of students and teachers died. We extracted important problems from many cases of kindergartens damaged by this disaster. To cope with these problems, we examined the sophistication of tsunami evacuation behavior in kindergarten by training method using the disaster action card.
 In kindergarten, We set the mission in an evacuation behavior, we have created the disaster action card that is based on the mission. We conducted evacuation drills using the disaster action card and evaluation meetings just after the drills. We improved the disaster action card by the review of the drill. We realized the continuous improvement of tsunami evacuation drills in such a PDCA cycle.
