[O1-6-01] “Moving Hearts” With Experiences and Lessons ~ Connecting Stories to Specific Disaster Prevention Measures

*Emiko Kuriyagawa1 (1. Miyagi Prefectural Government)

Keywords:“Moving Hearts”

How did people who previously experienced natural disasters pass on their stories and lessons they learned as well as prepare others for later disasters?

Using remaining records and conveying the scene of the disaster at that time to people who did not experience the calamity first-hand allows them to relive the situation as if they were there. This session discusses the initiatives needed to increase the number of people able to properly react and take action in emergency situations as a result of storytelling.

Additionally, experts and the regional community members involved share opinions regarding initiatives aimed at achieving regional revitalization by creating networks between different disaster memorial facilities, where they pass on memories and lessons concerning disasters to the world and future generations.
