Student’s comments（Students who played）
・I realized that disasters have various patterns, so I should be flexible to deal with it.（2nd 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.（2nd 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 dothese 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, eachstudents had a more deeper imagination, so their comments were very impressive. I would like to share and learn through this activity continuously.

DisasterPrevention Studies “Cross road”［Overview］
１Purpose
We did an interview with Kobe City office staffs (6,098 people) who were working when the“Hanshin Awaji Great Earthquake” happened. At that time, city staff had to work for 24 hours in a very critical situation. The

situation was difficult for several months.

This study is to understand the actual situation when a disaster happens. Students should think about the issues are the problem of themselves and share what they thought about it with other students. Students will
improve their understanding of disaster prevention. When people have to deal with the disaster, they will face many troubles and also will have to find a way out of a dilemma. All staff of Kobe City council had to find a way
to solve the critical situation. This study is to learn from their experience and find other ideas from a different situations.

２

Activity report（１）There are 9 questions in the original game, but it is very difficult. We modified the question to 3 and made each grade to choose.
「Ａ」Easy：Able to change afterwards →「Ｃ」Critical：Issue will impact human life and rights〈Example:Kobe City Question1008〉「Ａ」

You are…

A few hours has passed after the earthquake.

Kobe City official

In shelter A, there are 3000 refugees.

staff in charge ofNow you have 2000 meals ready, but there is no

shelter’s

possibility of additional delivery of meals.

food supply

Will you deliver 2000 meals?

The problem of saying “ＹＥＳ”→The difficulty and unfairness of choosing 1000 refugees who cannot receive the meal.
The problem of saying “ＮＯ”→Refugees will surely claim, and also the autonomy will claim too.
〈Example:Kobe City Question1016〉「Ｃ」

You are…

Dead bodies lie in repose. You need to place them to check

In charge of the

who they are, conduct an inquest, and cremate the bodies. Only

charnela few people are there to help you, so it is hard to catch up
with your work since the dead bodies are increasing. None of you haven’t taken any rest for half a day, so you are exhausted.
Would you advise your staff to take a rest?

The problem of saying “ＹＥＳ”→The delay will cause the bodies to lie in state, the bodies will be damaged, families of the victims will be upset.
The problem of saying “ＮＯ”→Mental and Health problems for the workers, working efficiency will be low.
（２）Discuss and decide in small groups and in the classFirst, divide into small groups and have a discussion. Then each group will do a presentation of their conclusion, and discuss again in class. One answer will be chosen as a class.

３Student’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 stayobjective 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 insome 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)
