Description

<p>Under the revised Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act in 2021, it became the obligation of municipalities to create individual evacuation plans for those who require assistance.</p><p>This study aimed to support mutual assistance evacuation efforts led by voluntary disaster prevention organizations by developing an information sharing application. The developed Application was tested during an actual evacuation drill with 50 members of voluntary disaster prevention organizations using it. After the drill, 30 of the 50 users of the application responded to a survey.</p><p>Based on the survey results, several key points emerged regarding the impact of using the application during evacuation drills: (1) The application increased user’s awareness of “mutual assistance”. (2) The elevated awareness of mutual assistance was attributed to the effectiveness of mutual monitoring and an enhanced sense of responsibility driven by self-awareness of their roles. (3) Users expressed a heightened willingness to voluntarily create and update lists of individuals in need of assistance. Furthermore, nearly all respondents expressed a desire to continue using this application for future training exercises. On the other hand, user identified a challenge for the application, which is the implementation of functions that can be used in everyday life.</p>
