Due to the heavy rain in western Japan, 51 people died in Mabi-cho, Kurashiki city, except for disaster-related deaths, and the side-reader has written experiences of 16 children and local people. I will.
In the class, the children learned about the importance of evacuating early as they were left behind on the balcony on the second floor of their home and the next morning, a story of a man rescued by boat was introduced.
After that, the children were thinking about what to bring out when they evacuated, and there were opinions that they would bring water, radio, thermometer, and pet food.
The children said, "I was very scared of the heavy rains of the old days. I haven't prepared anything to take out when I evacuate, so I want to make a carry-out bag immediately." I want to take it with me."
