Abstract
Food allergy is a condition that may require emergency management at schools and nurseries. For educating the management of food allergy emergencies to school and nursery personnel, the following 5 steps are necessary. "Know the risk" is to know the basics of food allergy and to have accurate information of the child at risk. "Make a plan" is to make a food allergy and anaphylaxis action plan, such as the Tokyo Metropolitan's action plan for food allergy emergency. "Get a kit" is to prepare the necessary items, such as a copy of the action plan, medication and contact information. To "Work as a team" in an emergency, it is important to have the roles clear. Finally to "Maintain your plan", regular training with simulation is required.
