FLOOD DAMAGE AND COTINUED CHILDCARE OF NURSEY SCHOOLS IN NAGANO PREFECTURE DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN EVENT BY TYPHOON HAGIBIS IN OCTOBER 2019

Abstract

 The Typhoon Hagibis in October 2019 caused flood damage in various places in Nagano prefecture. Four nurseries were flooded in Nagano City and Chikuma City. We interviewed the city staff and nursery school staff about the disaster situation and childcare continuity. Furthermore, we carried out flood inundation analysis of the Chikuma River and analyzed the inundation process. Nursery schools need rules to close before a typhoon arrives. And six types of resources are required for the nursery school to resume services. In this case, “building” and “supporter” were the key resources.
