The nursery schools in Hiroshima prefecture, which were damaged by the heavy rain event of July 2018, rented other facilities to provide emergency childcare. We visited five nurseries, which were damaged by this disaster, and the nursery section of Hiroshima City. We conducted interview surveys on disaster response and childcare continuity. As four nurseries were required econstruction of facilities or large-scale repairs, they provided distributed childcare using multiple facilities or joint childcare at a other nursery school. It is important to consider a childcare continuation plan on the premise of a disaster at a nursery school that requires early recovery even after a disaster.
