Hot List

A must for busy people, game lovers, and those who want to spend time in the comfort of their own home ！.

On December 28, 2024 （ Sat ）, Izumiotsu City will host "The ・ Remote", a game-style learning event on disaster prevention. The event, now in its third year, is a real-time, hands-on experience utilizing ZOOM, and has been attended by 210 teams and approximately 700 people.

[Realistic experience because it is virtual]
"The ・ Remote" provides a realistic experience of a disaster scenario that is difficult to reproduce in reality in a virtual environment, offering a sense of urgency as if you were facing an actual disaster. Whether you are a first-timer, returning home, or staying at home for New Year's, anyone can participate regardless of location, whether you are interested in disaster prevention or not. The goal is to improve your ability to make decisions and respond to emergencies while having fun and learning.


Challenging time-limited missions

Last year's "The ・ Remote"
Taking lessons from the Noto Peninsula earthquake, "New Year vacations" for easy participation by the whole family " set on
In recent years, due to the increasing frequency ・ and intensity of disasters, it is increasingly important for each citizen to take an interest in and learn about disaster prevention. However, conventional disaster drills are difficult to participate in due to issues such as "lack of time", "rigid", and "mannerisms".

Therefore, we introduced "The ・ Remote" to renew the image of disaster prevention and make it easier for busy people and those who are not interested in disaster prevention to participate. In fact, 63.3% of the participants in last year's survey said that they had never participated in any of the city's disaster prevention events or drills.

In addition, the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred on January 1, 2024, caused confusion due to the shortage of evacuation centers as many families were returning home. This highlighted the situation where evacuation centers exceeded their capacity and the lack of preparation for families who normally live apart to evacuate together. Based on this lesson, we set up "The ・ Remote" during the New Year holidays to provide an opportunity for families who normally live apart to learn about disaster prevention together.

The aim is to raise awareness of disaster prevention in various places and situations, including at home, by having the whole family learn about disaster prevention together. A remote format was also adopted so that local residents and city employees could effectively participate in the training even during the New Year vacations.

"Izumiotsu City staff" will use their experience gained through "support for disaster-stricken areas" and "interaction with disaster victims" as a mission.
The city dispatched a total of 25 employees to support the Noto Peninsula Earthquake for about 6 months, staying overnight at evacuation centers. Based on the valuable stories we heard and lessons learned from the citizens and city employees we interacted with on site through this experience, we have set a realistic and practical mission for this "The ・ Remote".

[Example of a mission]
Simulation of how to evacuate a family safely after an earthquake ： Using episodes from disaster victims, participants will experience how a whole family works together to evacuate.

Gathering supplies needed for evacuation from items in the home ： Learn the importance of stockpiles that can be used right away.

Risk of Disaster-Related Deaths and Quality of Evacuation Life
After the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016 and the Noto Peninsula earthquake this year, disaster-related deaths, which are not only deaths directly caused by disasters, but also poor quality of evacuation life, have become a major issue. You can learn more about this risk in "The ・ Remote. Specific measures to maintain quality evacuation living are presented based on actual experiences in evacuation centers to help you learn more about how to prevent disaster-related deaths.

Comments from Past Participants
Past participants said, "I remembered some things incorrectly. It was an opportunity to learn again" and "I learned very well how to evacuate and how to protect my head.
