Utilized during the Great East Japan Earthquake Learning about "safety tags" Iwate Kamaishi September 1, 19:41
A workshop was held at the Tsunami Denkan Museum in Kamaishi to learn about the "safety tag" that was set up at the front door of the house to inform people in Kamaishi, Iwate that they were evacuated due to the Great East Japan Earthquake.
The "safety tag" was devised by Kamaishi Higashi Junior High School students in 2009, two years before the earthquake, and distributed to the area. It was actually used in the Great East Japan Earthquake and helped shorten the time for rescue activities. Since then, it has been incorporated into disaster prevention learning at schools around the world.
On the 1st, the "safety tag" workshop was held for the first time at a tsunami transmission facility in Kamaishi City, and 71 people from the sixth grade of Ichinoseki City Minami Elementary School participated.
The children who participated created original safety tags, which were left blank for the evacuation destination to fill in later, and bills with illustrations that made it clear that they had evacuated.
The boys who participated said, "We want to expand the safety tag to save lives for many people."
Aki Kawasaki, a graduate of Kamaishi Higashi Junior High School who was involved in the activity of distributing safety tags, said Tsuki tradition facility staff, Anju Kawasaki, “24 I want to go."
