This session will cover discussions on various areas of disaster education, including education on natural disaster science, methods of disaster education, disaster hand-down, efforts in school events such as evacuation drills, disaster education in school, and education on reconstruction from disasters. The main theme of this year's session will be disaster education for citizens. Natural disasters strike all citizens. These citizens are diverse in age (from infants to the elderly), disabilities, language, faith, gender, and so on. Because of this diversity of educational targets, there are many problems in educating citizens about disaster preparedness.
We will also accept reports from the fields of geography and geoscience that can be used as a starting point for discussions on comprehensive disaster education, as we have done in previous years, as well as for the scope of next year's session and beyond.
