［Overview］ Disaster Reduction Studies（Jan.12, 2017） 1st and 2nd grade: Disaster Prevention Studies“Disaster Reduction Action Card Game” ［Overview］ １　Purpose 　Our SGH Sendai Interaction Program members(DR3 Project members) did a lesson for the other students to make them recognize how harmful a natural disaster can be by… (1)     Reconfirming that Japan is a country which will be influenced by natural disasters including an earthquakes. (2)     Checking hazard maps to find out if our school may have a landslide disaster. (3)      By playing the“Disaster Reduction Action Card Game”(Hisamatsu and others, 2015), make an opportunity to think what we should do as a first response when a disaster happens. 【Feature of “Disaster Reduction Action Card Game”】 (1)     Simple rules (2)     Focus on “quick thinking” when a disaster occurs, and make players choose the next action. (3)     By speaking out the reason for the action, players can share various ideas when a disaster happens. (4)     People who played the game can be the host of the next game. (5)     We can play this game internationally. (6)     We use the game card as illustrated on the right (7)     This game will be played in a small group.   (8)     The actual question we played               2. Activities
5th grade students are explaining about the disaster.	After the question is asked, players must choose a card within 3 seconds.	They shared the reason why they chose their card
We sent a certificate to the class which has a high concern for disaster reduction.

３　Student’s comments

（Students who played）

・I realized that disasters have various patterns, so I should be flexible to deal with it.（2^nd grade）

・It was easier to learn through the card game because it was easier to imagine. The good point of this game is that we can share our thoughts with each other.（2^nd grade）

・I learned how important it is to escape from the danger of the disaster. I would like to think with my family.（1年生女子）

（Hosts of the game）

・I was very happy to share what we have learned in the Sendai interaction. All members in the DR3 project were so happy that we could this game and make our school students

realize the importance of disaster prevention. My class enjoyed this game, and they improved their attitude towards disaster reduction and prevention. I would like to do

these kind of activities continuously to share the importance of disaster reduction and prevention.

・This was our first time to do the DR3 project in our school. I was the leader of the disaster reduction study. Since we had to operate 7 classes at one time, we were so busy. I learned

how important it is to prepare in advance. The “Disaster Reduction Action Card Game”is used in the DR3 activities. It was a good opportunity to share this game within our school.

・  Last summer, we played the“Disaster Reduction Action Card Game” at Uzugamori Elementary School. This time we played the game with our students aged from 12 to 14. Since the age was higher this time, each students had a more deeper imagination, so their comments were very impressive. I would like to share and learn through this activity continuously.

３　Student’s comments

・I am not sure if my answer was correct for each question. If my position and situations were different, I am sure that I will choose other answers. It was so hard for me to decide the answer when I tried to think and stay objective in a disaster.（3rd）

・The question about the press report was really difficult. I know that people will make claim about news reports nowadays. I realized that the ones experiencing the disaster should move closer to each other. I believe that we should talk to each other or discuss with each other more often.（3rd）

・  I believe that people who experienced the earthquake disaster should do volunteer work because people who experienced it have more knowledge than others. I hope that those people can share their experience in some way.（4th）

・I felt scared because if someone misunderstands and makes a wrong decision, the damage may increase and it will never recover. To make the best decision, people should learn from past mistakes.（4th）

・  In my group, each of us had different answers to the question. I learned that we should see things from many ways and decide in a calm way. I also learned the importance of the time of making the decision and taking action and not only choosing“Yes or No”.（5th）

・  I learned that imagining the impact of the disaster will help you prepare and also get your heart ready for the disaster. I think that things will be better if you imagine it and be ready for it.（5th）

・It was a pressure for me because even if I think and decide, there would be a problem. I don’t want to experience this, but I am sure that in the future, I will have to face the natural disaster.（5th)

High School Students Summit on “World Tsunami Awareness Day” in Kuroshio

［Overview］

1．Essential details and concepts of the event

Japan, along with 142 countries, proposed the resolution to designate November 5^th as “World Tsunami Awareness Day”, with the aim of raising international awareness of the threat of tsunami and the precautionary measures against it. The UN General Assembly designated November 5^th as the World Tsunami Awareness Day in December 2015.

 In Japan, November 5^th was already designated as “Tsunami Disaster Prevention Day”. This originated from an anecdote known as “Inamura-no-hi”(The burning of harvested rice sheaves). On November 5^th in 1854, when the Ansei Nankai Earthquake occurred, Goryo Hamaguchi, a farmer in Hirogawa Town, Wakayama Prefecture, set fire to his precious rice sheaves in the fields to guide his fellow villagers to higher ground, in order to save them from tsunami.

This international youth meeting is an awareness-raising event for “World Tsunami Awareness Day”. It was held in Kuroshio-cho, Kochi Prefecture. We named the event “High School Students Summit on “World Tsunami Awareness Day” in Kuroshio”.

Kuroshio-cho is anticipated to be the most damaged area in the case the Nankai Earthquake happens. The tsunami waves are estimated to reach as high as 34 meters. Kuroshio-cho is working to avoid any victims. They are working to maintain infrastructure, provide disaster risk reduction education for their citizens, and generate industries for disaster risk reduction.

Earthquake and tsunami are a risk for the loss of human life and cause serious damage to the area which is an issue for each country. This High School Student Summit is to share the knowledge of disaster prevention, threat of earthquake and tsunami, the disaster prevention and reduction, and reconstruction from the disaster. The summit is held to foster future leaders who can cooperate internationally in a comprehensive and well-planned manner to protect the lives and property of citizens from earthquake and tsunami and to lessen the impact of disasters which will effect their lives and economic situation.

2．Purpose

Participation in “High School Students Summit on “World Tsunami Awareness Day” in Kuroshio” as a part of Sendai interaction program to achieve 4 missions as stated below.

(1)　Report our DR3 activities in English.

(2)　Learn other countries natural disasters by having interaction with overseas students.

(3)　Think together how we should hand down the memories of disaster to future generations.

(4)　Improve the mind of disaster prevention by participating in this program.

6. The Kuroshio Declaration

The Kuroshio Declaration

To commemorate the establishment of “World Tsunami Awareness Day” at the United Nations General Assembly, for the past two days, on 25^th and 26^th of November 2016, we have gathered at Kuroshio Town, Kochi, which is predicted to suffer from significant damage by a devastating tsunami the Nankai Trough earthquake may cause.

Natural hazards bring severe damage across the world, and many people face having to recovery their communities as a result. Although the diversities in countries and regions we live in may create differences in disasters caused by natural hazards we face and our approaches to disaster risk reduction, we all share the common goal of saving all human lives from disasters.

Today, as high school students from around the world, we have learned about what we should and can do to achieve our goal and to contribute to recovery of disaster affected areas.

We hereby declare that we will continue to make our best effort to understand the risks and effects of tsunamis, to pass onto our predecessors’ experiences and knowledge of disaster mitigation and risk reduction to future generations, and most importantly, to save people’s lives from tsunamis and other hazards.

1    We will learn.

   We will obtain correct knowledge on the mechanisms of natural hazards, and the history of damage and disasters so that we can enhance our understanding of　natural hazards and their risks.

   We will learn and study knowledge, skills, and actions that are useful for disaster risk reduction to save people’s lives.

   We will learn how to face hazards and how to live our lives from people who have experienced such disasters.

   We will utilize technology to enhance our learning.

2　　We will take actions.

   We will keep reminding people of the risk of disasters caused by natural hazards and constantly carry out educational activities to raise people’s awareness of disaster risk reduction.

   We will recognize ourselves as people who offer help to others instead of people who receive help and we will actively participate in volunteer activities that consider others.

   We will contribute to community development as members of the community through activities such as proposing actions for disaster risk reduction to the local community and national and local governments.

3   We will create.

   By utilizing our acquired knowledge and skills, we will create useful tools and systems for disaster risk reduction for all kinds of people.

   We will create global and regional networks of high school students to learn together and cooperate with each other so that we can live together with our friends in the world.

   We will make use of our wisdom and vitality as future leaders for disaster risk reduction. We will not only revitalize the development of local communities, but also contribute to making our cities and countries more resilient to hazards for the sake of ourselves and children in the future.

While appreciating the blessings of nature and understanding the risks that nature sometimes brings about disasters, we will love and live with nature without fearing those risks.

（Feedback from students）

5^th grade / I

Through this program, I learned the importance of shareing our thoughts and discussing the future with other students. I had interacted with other schools before, but then I was not very good at communicating. I participated in this program and spoke to many other students this time. It was very fun talking with them in both English and Japanese. At the same time, I was able to learn and discover various ways of thinking. I proposed 2 action plans. One is to play the disaster reduction action card game by adjusting the contents to each areas. Another is to have more interaction with local schools. I believe that we should do these 2 action plans on our own actively. I do want to do these activities more.

4^th grade/ T

Doing the presentation, shareing each of the action plans and doing discussions were the most impressive things for me. The idea from the student whose country has no earthquakes was really new. His idea gave me a new vision. I had a chance to make new friends from other countries and this was the most effort I got from this program. We were able to share the knowledge of the disaster we will face, and we are ready to support each other when a disaster happens. When the Great East Japan Earthquake happened, many people from abroad supported Japan. The connections with other countries will surely be useful for prevention, reduction and reconstruction. If each one of us can make a bridge to help others, we can make a new chain to support each other. Also I was able to know that we can break through the difference of languages. It was hard to speak out my thoughts, but I tried my best. Other students from overseas listened carefully and asked “are you trying to say? Do you mean about ~?” and nodded when they understood. I can’t forget the moment when they helped me and made it possible to share my thoughts.

At the fieldwork, actually it was the first time for us, and other students, to do the earthquake drill. It was so impressive to do an earthquake drill in order to support each other’s lives when the earthquake happens for real. In Japanese schools, we do have disaster drill but in other countries, they never do it. So doing these events has a good meaning for everybody. If high school students gather together and think about disaster risks, I believe that we can reduce the damage of disasters. This program meant a lot to me. I am so glad I was able to join this program.
