Presentation Summary
| Title | Protect lives in local community with everyone and toward multicultural symbiosis | |
|---|---|---|
| Survey | Introduction | We want, not only local people but also foreign immigrants, to know how to protect our personal safety from disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. We aim to realize a local society in which no one is left behind. |
| Method | Referring to literature, questionnaires, and interviews | |
| Subject | Foreign residents and those working in disaster prevention in Urakawa town | |
| Results | Language barriers and lacks of knowledge prevent foreigners from realizing the importance of disaster mitigation. Methods of supporting foreigners in time of disaster have not been established yet. |
|
| Issues | ・ Foreigners don’t realize the necessity of disaster mitigation because they don’t have much knowledge about disasters. ・ We need to think more about supporting foreigners (especially those who can’t speak English.) |
|
| Action Plan | ・ Educational activities on disaster mitigation for local foreign residents through posters and leaflets. ・ Proposing a system for high school students to support foreigners in time of disaster. |
