Abstract
The purpose of this study is to propose the competencies that should be acquired to protect lives from
heavy rain disasters, develop classes for acquiring these competencies, and evaluate the classes based
on the perspective of these competencies. In this study, we assume that the competencies to be
acquired to protect lives from heavy rain disasters are inherent in the evacuation action determination
flow. Based on the competencies inherent in the flow, we proposed the competencies necessary to
protect oneself from heavy rain disasters. We developed and implemented classes to enhance these
competencies through activities such as museum visits, utilization of hazard maps, and learning about
alert levels. The results of the verification showed an improvement in the quality of decision-making
and an increase in psychological factors. However, the need for validating the validity of decisions and examining the relationship between evacuation intentions in normal and disaster situations became
evident.
