あなたは，英語の授業で防災についてのプレゼンテーションをするために，日本に住んでいる外国人に向けて書かれた次の記事を読んで，メモ（note）を作成しました。これらを読んで，あとの各問いに答えなさい。

CH25＊Make Your Own Hazard Map［1］ In Japan, there are many natural disasters including typhoons, earthquakes, and heavy rain.

Imagine that a big typhoon is coming to your city. Do you know where you should go? Do youknow people who can help you? If you have this information, you can act quickly and ＊calmly in
5 an emergency.

Your ＊city government may have a hazard map which tells you about dangerous

places. But it is important to make your own hazard map, too. It should have not only dangerous
places but also some other important places near your house. For example, you should ＊add a place
to meet your family or ways to go to ＊evacuation sites. You must think about protecting yourself
from disasters.
10［2］ Howcan you make your own hazard map that is useful in an emergency? First, visit thewebsite of your city and check the evacuation sites near your house with your family andneighbors. Some people should go to a school, and other people should go to a ＊community center.
Next, share information about dangerous places. For example, someone may say, “This road will
be under water if we have heavy rain.” After talking with each other, walk around your area to15 do＊fieldwork. It is a good idea to put pictures of the dangerous places on your map, so take acamera with you. Children and elderly people need to go with you because they may notice otherdangers you miss. You should also decide which places to check before going. By doing so, youcan finish quickly. After the fieldwork, make a map with all of the information you collected.
［3］ In an emergency, you may have some problems you cannot solve by yourself. In this case,
20 youwill need to work together with your neighbors. It is easy to help each other if you know

them well. So, why don’t you greet your neighbors first to connect with them? Making a map will
also give you chances to talk more with your neighbors.

Good communication will make oursociety stronger against disasters.
