EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY FOR DISASTER PREVENTION BY USING EVACUATION SIMULATION GAME

Although a learning for disaster prevention and a evacuation drill are becoming active after the Great East Japan Earthquake, participants who have not experienced the serious disaster cannot get an actual feeling only by an lecture or a evacuation drill. We developed a new evauation drill named "evacuation simulation game" in order to excite students interest in disaster prevention and made a disaster prevention education mainly at elementary and junior high schools since 2006. From 2011, the emergency drill project using "a evacuation simulation game" is conducted at educational facilities, a neiborhood community association and so on in collaboration with Tokushima Prefecture. The validity and the spread method of this training are reported.
