[G02-02] Development of Environment and Disaster Mitigation Educational Programs, in Water Disasters in the Right Bank of the Tama River (Takatsu Ward and Tama Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture) Inundated by Typhoon "Hagibis"
Keywords:Environment and Disaster Mitigation Educational Programs, Water Disasters, Administration-School Cooperation, Fieldwork, Hazard Map, DIG ( Disaster Imagination Game )
1 Introduction
Mukainooka Technical High School (Tama Ward, Kawasaki City) is on the border with Takatsu Ward. The school is located in the Tama River lowland (alluvium), just south of the right bank of the Tama River, in a flood inundation area. Tama Hills and Shimosueyoshi Terraces are located about 500m south from this school, along which many sediment-hazardous areas and steep slope collapse areas are distributed. In front of the hills and terraces is the nearest station "Kuji".
Around the school, the "Kawasaki Loam Slope Failure Test Accident" occurred in 1971 and the "Tama River Flood" occurred in 1974. By Typhoon "Hagibis" in 2019, part of the school and its surroundings were flooded, and about 1km from the school died east (Takatsu Ward). By implementing the “Environment and Disaster Mitigation Educational Programs, in Water Disasters” introduced in this presentation for the evening classes students of the school, worked on the development of “Community Educational Programs on Meteorological Disasters and Climate Change Adaptation” to elementary and junior high schools in Kawasaki City.
2 Fieldwork Practice (in 2017)
"Field Works of Environment and Disaster Mitigation B" is a School setting Subject, is an elective subject, a summer intensive subject. In 2017, we conducted the following classes on the theme of "Water Use and Environmental Disaster Prevention". Except for pre-learning, we performed during the day.
(1) July 18th; Pre-learning (The School)
Students learned about the heavy rain disaster and its mechanism, and the basic policy for adaptation to climate change and heavy rain of Kawasaki City.
(2) 20th and 21st; Fieldwork (Takatsu Ward)
Using "Takatsu Ward Watershed Topographic Map", "Disaster Prevention Map", "Flood Hazard Map" and "Landslide Hazard Map" issued by Kawasaki City, we visited past flooded places and places where sediment disaster may occur, and students considered the relationship between the origin of the topography, civil engineering work, and environmental disaster prevention of water.
(3) 22nd; Port and Airport Research Institute (Yokosuka City)
Students participated in the public opening of the institute, and learned and considered the latest science and technology related to Environment and Disaster Mitigation of water.
(4) 24th; Honjo Life Safety Learning Center (Sumida Ward, Tokyo)
Focusing primarily on water disasters, students learned about disaster preparedness through their experiences and then walked through the zero meter above sea level to deepen their learning.
(5) 25th; Conclusion(The School)
All students summarized the results learned for 4 days. These were presented at the school festival.
In the Tamagawa River system, the more impressive Students, the more severe the damage caused by Typhoon "Hagibis". The dead came in the most impressive places.
3. DIG(Disaster Imagination Game) for all school students (in 2018)
All students (89 students) experienced DIG specializing in water disasters in a conference room for 90 minutes on September 25th. DIG was combined with "evacuation training" and "disaster home training". Each group of DIG consisted of 5 to 6 students from the same school and mixed grades.
First, students were informed about recent water disasters nationwide, past water disasters near high schools, and their mechanisms. We expanded the 1 / 10,000 topographic map, "Mizonokuchi", to 3km x 4km, including "Mizonokuchi" and "Noborito", which are transfer stations between the JR Line and private railways that pass near our school, to the A0 version. Each group wrote on it necessary information such as infrastructure and danger areas from each of the four maps used in 2 (2), and created a adisaster prevention map.
From the disaster prevention map prepared, each group considered "the disaster's strengths and weaknesses around the high school assuming a flood," and "return routes when public transportation near the high school was suspended due to the possibility of flooding". A few students found a route to go to the bus street after evacuating to a wide-area evacuation area "Midorigaoka Cemetery" on a terrace without passing through sediment-hazardous areas and steep slope collapse areas. All the students shared those opinions of each group.
