other people in a calm manner.

2. The participants obtain knowledge of disaster prevention, and raise awareness so that they

概要：

Overnight workshop of the simulated experience of an evacuation.

Overview

Before the project
Our country was damaged severely by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
However, the affected areas are far from our community, so citizens are not quite as aware of crisis
management. We need to prepare for such disasters hitting our community. We didn't have any data
showing how conscious our citizens were, so the project included an investigation of the facts.

JCI Nagano recognized that it is most important for individuals in our community to positively change
to a person who can act with leadership when a disaster occurs. If there are many such individuals in
the community, the community is safe and a good place to live. This aids in increasing the value of ourcommunity.
If many citizens take initiative to act rightly as leaders, it is a great benefit for the community.
Therefore we decided to conduct a workshop for disaster prevention to develop citizen's abilities totake proactive and correct action, through cooperation with people who support our activities.

The project
We organized a workshop for local disaster prevention with supporters.
To be a leader in an emergency situation, the citizen has to acquire the necessary knowledge inadvance. The workshop was held to develop the necessary abilities.
Through participation in the workshop, participants improve awareness for disaster prevention, as
well as knowledge for crisis management.

- I obtained useful knowledge and experience.
- All of the things I experienced will be helpful, there are many things I learned.
- I will recheck our emergency stocks and talk with my family on how to act in an emergency situation
after I get back home.
- I found many things I should have known but didn't.
- Now I know what I need to add in an emergency pack.

According to the results of the questionnaire, most participants chose the "very helpful" and "helpful"
options. It can be considered that this is what was expected as initially assumed, with respect to thesharing of information and knowledge that is the basis for correct behavior.However, the options"neither" and "not very useful" were also chosen in small numbers. We need to talk with theparticipants on the details again.It is important to extract valuable information from thisminority.Improvements,We need to increase the numbers of participants by reconsidering the考察や推奨

program content. Then the number of citizens who are highly aware of disaster prevention willincrease, thereby increasing the value of the community with citizens.Improvement of the programTheprogram is focused on coping after a disaster has occurred, but we need to plan a workshop for an
experience in more practical situations.(For example, if an earthquake occurs on the way to school, or
if a fire occurs during the preparation of a meal)Improvement of public relationsAs well as promoting
the program on TV and radio, we need to be more active in reaching out directly to local organizations
such as elementary and junior high schools, leading to an increase in participants.By implementing
the above, we will be able to promote awareness of disaster training in more citizens.

The points and features of the program
1. The program became the starting point for the improvement of disaster prevention in thecommunity while seeking cooperation with other organizations and local citizens.
2. Disaster prevention cannot be effective without cooperation between citizens and the community.
3. The program is considered to be necessary for the development of a better community.

What we want to tell the new members next year
This year's members have been working under the keyword of "cooperation" with the theme of"disaster prevention" as a project for local community development. We hope a project like this willbring benefits to the community.
