The project aims to develop the teaching program against
disasters such as Tsunami and Earthquake (2012), Typhoonand Flood (2013), Fire and Volcanic Eruption (2014):• a) Saving the school children from disasters: For theschool management,
gthe pproject
jsummarizes thesuccessful and un-successful cases to save ourchildren during disasters with the use of visualmaterials and share the essential strategies ofevacuations in the disasters.
• b) Sharing scientific materials which should be taught
in schools: To prepare teaching programs, the project
develops the teaching materials using data which isnecessary to scientifically understand the mechanism
and influence of disasters.

A Story which may appear in the Textbook
Parting with motherI told "Thank you" several times and swam desperately“Dearest mother, interesting, tender grandmother. Everyone has gone.”The Sendaiikuei High School first grade
Saori Endo (sobriquet) visited Europe for the donation activity of "the Ashinaga scholarship association" which
supported the child who lost a parent by disasters. She told about hard and sad parting with her mother(35) in Paris.
"After finishing the graduation ceremony at my junior high school, I was at my house in Ishinomaki, in Miyagi
prefecture, and that’s when we felt the huge earthquake. The earthquake was intense but our house was 4
kilometers away from the Kitakamigawa river. I was telling to my mother, my grandmother and my great
grandparents that, “The tsunami won’t come this far.”Soon after that, an abnormal backward flow of river water
drifted out to the house. I was thrown in to black water that smelled like gasoline. My body was stuck between
hard objects and there was no way out. “I’m gonna die," I thought. But before I knew it, I had drifted with a heap of
rubble and ended up on top of a storage building at the nearby Okawa elementary school. “Sayo,” I heard a very
familiar but weak voice. I looked into the crevice between the debris. I saw a long black hair that could even reachall the way down her back. It was my mother. She was stuck in a heap of rubble, and her leg was twisted in a
disturbing position
position. I tried hard to help her outout, but all I couldn
couldn`tt move the debris.
debris I was also severely injuredinjured. Somenails were stubbed into my legs and they were ripped and torn, and my back was cut and injured. The heap wassurrounded by dirty water and it was freezing cold. I didn’t know when the Tsunami would hit us again. I toldmyself, “If I stay here any longer, I might die.” I said “goodbye,” and “I love you,” a million times to my mother, andjumped into the water. I swam for 100 meters and reached the rooftop of an elementary school. I spent the night
there, and I was rescued the day after. A few days later, My mother’s body was found."She lost grand-grandmother and a grandmother. And she left her grandfather (60) who working at Ishimaki city
office and now live alone in Sendai. On a street of Tokyo, New York, and, in Paris, an international conference ofChina she told about parting with her mother. It is from one thought that she does not want you to forget thisdisaster. "If my family lives, I may hate to talk such a story." she said without giving her name.
