Prevention is better than care

Leaflet by Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare

Credit: Osenbokumetsu groupToday, Covid-19 is spreadall over the world and its
influence is the biggest
concern for us. The government
measures at ports and airports arepaid attention. But what is
conducted as usual measure at
airports?
We
investigatedinfection diseases measures at
Haneda airport.
There are two quarantine
services at Haneda airport. First ofall, the staff check whether people
get a fever by using thermography.
Second, they provide information
about infection disease, forinstance, consulting for departuresand distributing leaflets.
However, there are someproblems in the existing methods.

We are from class Kiku in thethird grade at Ochanomizu
University senior high school.
In 2014, the Ministry of
Education,
culture,sports,sentenceandtechnology
designated our school as a superglobal high school (SGH), whichaims to foster global leaders.
In our class, we have manymembers who concern aboutsocial matters and each of themsees social issues which they areinterested in with penetrating

It is impossible to prevent
infection diseases completely
because thermography is justscreening, and when passengers
wait for this quarantine, they don’t
ensure “social distance”. In
addition, the posters or leaflets are
not preferred by passengers
because they tend to think them
unnecessary and unrelated to theirenjoyable trip. Few people noticewhere the posters and leaflets areposted. Various diseases spread inforeign countries and thesituations change constantly, that
means
most
peoplehave
difficulties to gain latest enoughinformation in order to prevent
infection. Due to the lack of
information, people could not

avoid getting infected. Eventually,
the disease is imported into Japan.
As a result of our research, wesuggest to improve these services
by focusing the leaflets. In
Haneda airport, though we can get
the leaflets at health consultation
room and departure counter, weshould place them to other places
like cafeteria, too. It is also
beneficial to put them not only inthe airports but also medical
institutions. In addition, weinvented new leaflets above.
The design and the amount of
document were changed to be
attractive for more people. We
hope infection disease are kept
away from Japan by people’s
concern of the measures.

As part of SGH program,
we divided into 7 courses in 3
fields, Life Health and Medical

and we worked on some projectsof various issues individually.
In the process of studies, we
conducted field works andinterviewed some experts in thefield, or discussed with friends
across the fence of courses.
As our outcome, we createdleaflets, posters, essays, websites,a picture book, and so on.
Through this activity we exploredthe depth of social matters andalso we acquired having a wide
perspective.

There are “return home

and“institutions for a temporary
sojourner.”
First, return home support stations
provide water, restroom andinformation about support for goinghome for those who walk back. ex)convenience store, family restaurants
and filling station.
Second, institutions for a temporary
sojourner provide relief supplies andinformation for stranded people, whotake a rest or stay temporarily.
According to a survey conducted inTokyo, stranded people are about
5,170,000 , especially the number of
those who cannot go anywhere isabout 920,000.
As of 2018, Tokyo Metropolitan
Government prepare about 38% of
the waiting space for stranded people,
but about 62% of it is lacking now.

Prior Preparation
Everyone shouldtake precautions against disaster.
First, you decide on a way to contact
family, such as a disaster emergency
message dial, and fix furniture. It
helps you can stay outside without
having to worry about your family
and home.
Second, you make the necessary
preparations assuming that you walka long dangerous street with yourstamina when you have to go homeon foot. You should prepare arucksack and sneakers at your placeof work, so that you can get home.
Then you check your way home,where return home support stations

and a place which you can take abreak are on your way to home.
At times of disasters
Basic principle for stranded people
is “Don't start moving unnecessarily,”which will keep you fromencountering the two dangers. One isinjury by a fire, falling objects andsecondary disaster. Another possible
danger is "crowd avalanche," a groupfalling down. It is assumed that at
most 8 million people become
stranded people at the time of aTokyo inland earthquake. Therefore
if everyone tries to go home all at
once, streets will be like a rush hourtrain. In the past, a crowd avalanche
occurred in Japan and 11 were killed

Figure by Yuri Satoand more than 250 were injured in theaccident.
If you move after the disaster, youwill be an obstruction of rescue andtransportation of relief supplies
because streets and around stations
are congested, so you should obey
this principle at times of disaster.

Effective Evacuation Place
think the fire grows more with trees.
However, in fact, when a fire breaks
out, a tree generates water vapor.
Even if a tree burns, the surface of thetree would carbonize and stop the
spread of fires. Trees can protect
people from heat and sparks.
According to another data, theextent is seemingly effectual. The
place which saved people from fire
were over 40,000 square kilometersin extent.
In summary, we argue that we needtrees, ponds, and enough large sites tomake a safe evacuation place. The
problem is, securing large place incities is too difficult. Also, tall trees
make blind spots that may give rise to
security issues.
Therefore, we need to consider a lotof things and find solutions to the
problems in order to make safe
evacuation place.

t is said that a Tokyo inland
earthquake will happen. However,in Ikebukuro, where we always
go through to commute, there are notenough places to run into when a fire
breaks out after the earthquake.�
What can we do to reduce the damage
in a metropolis? To solve thisproblem, we did research into a past
instance.
� To begin with, we studied about
the Great Kanto Earthquake, one of
the worst disasters accompanied byterrible conflagrations. In thatcalamity, whether they could survive
depended where people ran into. For
example, people stayed at KyuIwasaki-Tei Gardens(②in the map）
all escaped death, but on the other
hand, about 40,000 people died in theruin of the garment factory(①in themap). We compared the two sites andfound two important things for an
evacuation place: ponds and trees.
You can easily imagine that ponds areuseful for fleeing the fires. There wasa large pond in Kyu-Iwasaki-Tei
Gardens and people jumped in it were
mostly saved. �
When it comes to trees, you might

How Can We Improve Shelter for Women?

n Japan today, we have had
flooding and landslides
caused by heavy rain and major
earthquakes. Because of that,shelters as temporary housing fordisaster-stricken people havebecome more familiar than before.
However, it is a problem thatwomen are more likely to beplaced in a weak position in
shelters. What is the cause of the
problem and how can be improvestatus of women in shelters?
First, there are few women who
are involved in disaster prevention.

Created by Haruka Koide

I

Local governments have set up
Regional Disaster Prevention
Counciltopromotethepreparation and implementationof regional disaster prevention
plans. The council is establishedin prefectures and municipalities
and is responsible for thecomprehensive coordination ofdisaster prevention activities
conducted by local disasterprevention organizations. About
30% of municipalities in Japan do
not have any women as a memberoftheRegional
DisasterPrevention Council (as of 2016).

Created by Haruka Koide

The graph shows that there were
few women staff involved indisaster prevention when the 2016
Kumamoto Earthquake happened.
Women's participation is notprogressing in this field. That’s
why it could make it difficult toreflect women's opinions in thelocal disaster prevention plans of
many
local
governments.
Therefore, the rate of women staff
intheRegional
DisasterPrevention Council should be
increased.
Second, in the term of mental
health, there is also a burden that
only women have in shelter life.
The role in the shelter is often
determined by gender. For
example, the cleaning of rubble
is role of men and women are
assigned to cook. Women’s work
lasts endlessly during shelter life,
and they are less likely to be
thanked. In addition, they haveno incomes in most cases. Thosecause excessive mental burdens
on women.
In order to lighten these burdens,
jobs should be distributed so thateach person can do what he/sheis good at, rather than the tasks

which are decided by gender. This
work
distribution
methodencourages evacuees to find theirwork worthwhile. It can also be
expected to lead to improvementof overall work efficiency andrelief of stress.
As above, local governments
should support women who
participate in disaster prevention,
disaster response, and shelter
management so that women's
opinions can be reflected in
shelter administration. In addition
to this, it is also important for
women to recognize that they
themselves tend to be the weak inshelters, pay attention to their life
in shelters and engage in shelter
management actively. Moreover,
it is necessary for men to makeefforts to change the situations ofshelters, cooperating with women.

Gender Equality of Household Assignment

n 2019 the gender gap index
of Japan ranked 129th out of
153 countries. Though genderequalityis
being
loudlyproclaimed, the ranking issluggish. We regarded this as aserious problem.
Therefore, we asked some juniorhigh school students whose sence

Research conclusionsof values are almost established totake a questionnaire. We are going
to introduce the most impressive
consequence of all questions. The
question is, “As of 2018, in Japan,
wives do the housework for 263
minutes and husbands do it for 37
minutes on weekdays on average.
And wives do it for 284 minutes,

created by Yuka Azuma

husbands do it for 66 minutes on
weekend on average. What do you
think
about
the
current
situation in Japan?” According to
the survey, 57 percent of thestudents thought "The gender gap
should be narrowed" about thissituation. However, we found that
28 percent of the students thought"No problem" (Figure 1) They
said wives and husbands have
many differences of workloads
and many wives should devoteherself to do the housework. In
contrast, many husbands should
devote themselves to do work.
But now, the number of twoincome families are increasing
because of an aging society.
According to Gender Equality
Bureau Cabinet Office, we foundthe number of homemakerdecreased. Specialists expect the
number of double-income family
will increase in the future. It is

unfair that housework is regarded
as women’s work against an
increase of the number of twoincome families. There seems toexist gender bias. Therefore,
gender bias has already rooted
since we were junior high school
students. This idea lead to abarrier of women's advancement
in society, the pressure of working
on men, and so on.
For getting rid of these issues, weshould begin to think about genderbias when we were junior highschool students.
