In recent years, the deterioration of local disaster prevention power due to the collapse of local communities has become a social problem. The authors paid attention to the decline of residents' association participation rate, the increase of single-person households due to the aging of local residents, the situation of voluntary disaster prevention organizations and residents' associations, and the transformation of the local community due to the consolidation and abolition of elementary schools.
We investigated and analyzed the impact on local disaster prevention capabilities. In addition, we will describe an example of the regional disaster prevention capability of the local community, which places the elementary school at the center of the network that connects local residents.
