In December, I participated as a speaker at the disaster prevention learning event "The experience of Evacuation Centers for Foreign Residents" (hosted by Kobe International Community Center, Kobe University Global Education Center, and Consortium Universities in Hyogo). The first part of the event, "Let's Think and Think Together! Disaster Preparedness and Evacuation Hiyan", I explained about information and evacuation measures necessary in times of disaster using "easy Japanese" (yasashii nihongo). The second part was a hands-on experience using a disaster prevention map application from the Kobe City Emergency Management Office, and the third part was a role-playing evacuation shelter experience.
