Two years after the Hokkaido earthquake, two years before the earthquake, a elementary school in Atsuma Town, which had been badly damaged by a landslide, held a class on disaster prevention for the first time after the earthquake.

It will be two years on the 6th of next month from the earthquake that observed a seismic intensity of 7 with the Iburi region of Hokkaido as the epicenter.

In addition to the deaths of 37 people including disaster-related deaths, an elementary school in Atsuma Town, which suffered a great deal of damage due to a large-scale landslide, held a class on the theme of disaster prevention for the first time after the earthquake on the 26th. A person had a simulated experience of living in an evacuation center at the gym.

Some children had experience assembling corrugated cardboard beds during the earthquake two years ago, and they worked voluntarily without the teacher's instructions.

A 6th grade boy said, "I want to apply the knowledge I learned today, such as how to make a cardboard bed, to volunteers in the disaster area."

Principal Yukari Yoshioka said, "I want children to develop a supportive heart through this learning."
