Abstract

<p>Although the danger of flood damage undoubtedly exists, many people are unaware of the potential severe consequences and remain unprepared. Because of this, the practice of disaster education, which can foster a culture of disaster awareness, is of paramount importance in order to maintain the resilience of a community. This paper takes “a study of flood damages across three generations” as an example of disaster education, which examines memory and experience of past flood damage and tries to create a culture of disaster awareness. Although it is accepted that holding flood damage workshops is a significant practice, there is little regular or continuous activity. After highlighting some of the reasons why holding flood damage workshops should be a regular activity, I indicate that it is important to build systematic support based on the educational reality and actual conditions prevalent in schools today. I conclude that sociologists, who have so far overlooked educational practice, should carry out analysis based on the contents of educational practice, and consider how to implement practical changes for the better.</p>
