最初の数回(4回程度)は、座学による総合的な災害マネジメントの説明、キーワードの洗い出し,調査項目,資料の調査法,まとめ方などに関する講義を行う。その後の8回程度は、受講者ごとに課題を決め,その課題についての調査/分析結果を発表してもらい,その結果に基づく総合討論を自由に展開するスタイルが基本.最近都市化地域に発生した自然災害による被害とその対応などの分析を軸とする.更に防災館(本所防災館)の見学を実施し,防災訓練と災害の疑似体験をしてもらう.受講者が取りくむ課題の例としては、都市化地域の自然災害の特徴と地域特性,構造物被害と人的被害,間接被害/産業に与える影響,被害想定と地域防災計画,ライフライン防災対策,災害リスクマネージメント・クライシスマネジメント,防災教育,東京が抱える防災の課題などがある.
The first few sessions (around 4 sessions) will be lectures on comprehensive disaster management, including identifying key words, survey items, methods of collecting data, and how to compile information. For the next about 8 sessions, students will be asked to choose a topic, make a presentation on the results of their survey/analysis on that topic, and then engage in a free general discussion based on the results. The final session will be a summary of the course and final discussion.
The focus will be on the analysis of damage caused by recent natural disasters in urbanized areas and responses to them. In addition, students will be given a tour of the Disaster Prevention Center (Honjo Disaster Prevention Center), where they will be given a disaster prevention training and a simulated disaster experience.
Followings are the potential topics that the students will tackle and make a presentation
Probable damage in Tokyo due to future earthquakes,
Regional characteristics of the damaged areas and proper recovery,
Structural damage/reconstruction/ retrofit,
Human casualties and life after the hazard (including disaster preparedness and recovery of life),
Risk management and disaster information system,
Damage to lifelines,
Business interruption/ disaster insurance, BCM/BCP
Training and education for disaster management,
Fire and firefighting, and
Urban renewal.
