Target completion of earthquake resistance Basic Plan for the Promotion of Education (June 14, 2013 Government of Japan) Part 2: Educational Policies to be Implemented in the Coming Five Years Basic Measure 19 Enhancement of the educational and research environments and ensuring students safety in schools Improving the rate of earthquake-resistance of public school facilities based on the Basic Policy on the Improvement of School Facilities, aiming for early completion of earthquake resistance by March 2016. Improving university earthquake resistance rates: Concerning national universities, based on the third Five-Year Program for Facilities of National Universities, we shall aim for early completion of earthquake resistance. Regarding private schools, we aim to be able to complete earthquake resistance as early as possible, in taking into consideration the situation of earthquake resistance public schools and national schools. 4

Effort of promotion of earthquake resistance 7 Effort of MEXT The Act on Special Measures concerning Earthquake Disaster Management obliges local government to execute the seismic diagnosis and announce the result of the diagnosis. In press release in ever year, we release positive local government about promotion of earthquake resistance or negative. To lower local government of progress to earthquake resistance, the Minister of MEXT send letter for accelerate to promotion of earthquake resistance. Directly, we visit mayor in lower local government about earthquake resistance, we request to accelerate to promotion of earthquake resistance. Effort of local government Although in limited resource, local government decide that top priority is school earthquake resistance. Local government make project team of school earthquake resistance. Not renovation, but reinforcement in chance of repair.

Part 1 Ideal State of School Facilities in the Area Entailing the Risk of a Tsunami Disaster Chapter 1 Examination of the Damage to School Facilities Caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake 1. Property damage to schools caused by the earthquake Widespread damage, proven effect of seismic reinforcement, importance of earthquake protection measures for nonstructural members 2. Damage to school facilities caused by the tsunami Many schools that are not in an area where flooding by tsunami was predicted were actually flooded by the tsunami (69 schools) 3. Relationship between the location conditions of school facilities and tsunami damage Schools at the same elevation and the same distance from the coast suffered or did not suffer damage depending on their geography (ria coast: A in the figure; plain: B in the figure). It is important to understand the geography Surrounding the school in addition to the elevation and the distance from the coast. Elevation (m) A Children, etc. evacuated to the rooftop B (N = 332) Damage Damage No No damage damage Distance (km) Relationship between tsunami damage and location conditions (elevation and distance from the coast) of public elementary and lower secondary schools in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures 9

Chapter 2 Ideal State of School Facilities in the Area with the Risk of Tsunami Disaster 1. Basic concept of tsunami protection measures for school facilities Tsunami protection measures for school facilities may include evacuation to an elevated area or a tsunami evacuation building in the vicinity, evacuation to the rooftop or upper floors of the school building, etc., relocation to an elevated area and construction of a tall building. When considering tsunami protection measures, it is important to have an accurate understanding of the location conditions of the school (elevation of the premises, distance from the coast or river bank, past reach of tsunami, topography and presence/absence of tall buildings in the vicinity, assumed arrival time of tsunami, etc.) 2. Selecting safety measures against tsunami Select measures from the following options in the light of the location conditions of the school facilities: evacuation to an elevated area or a tsunami evacuation building in the vicinity, evacuation to the rooftop or upper floors of the school building, etc., relocation to an elevated area and construction of a tall building. If it is difficult to implement effective tsunami protection measures through facilities development, it is important to ensure safe evacuation by taking sufficient measures including evacuation drills.

Part 2 Ideal State of School Facilities Used as an Evacuation Shelter of the Community Chapter 1 Examination of the Issues Emerged from the Experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake 1. School facilities played the role of an evacuation shelter They were used by a large number of evacuees for a long period of time 2. Use of school facilities that served as an evacuation shelter and issues involved There were problems with toilets, heating equipment, etc. Use of facilities as shelters caused problems for resumption of school activities. 学校数 ( 校 ) Number of schools 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 March 11 3 月 11 日 622 March 17 3 月 17 日 240 151 125 92 82 April 11 4 月 11 日 May 11 5 月 11 日 June 10 6 月 10 日 July 11 7 月 11 日 August 8 8 月 08 日 42 23 0 September 12 9 月 12 日 October 13 10 月 13 日 November 10 11 月 10 日 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 264 198 108 86 135 130 126 93 102 学校 80 65 53 Schools Education facilities other than schools 文教施設 ( 学校以外 ) その他施設 Other facilities 72 34 27 31 16 8 3/20 4/10 5/8 6/12 7/10 8/15 Number of the schools used as a shelter at the time of the earthquake Change in the average number of people accommodated in shelters in Iwate Prefecture 12
Changes in school conditions as evacuation shelter 1 2 The day after the disaster (March 12, 2011) The number of evacuees on the evening of the day of the disaster was about 1,000 (1.0m2/person) 3 4 About two months after the disaster (May 9, 2011) The number of evacuees: about 500 (2.0m2/person) About three months after the disaster (June 11, 2011) The number of evacuees: about 340 (3.0m2/person) 1:Photo provided by Rikuzentakata Board of Education 2~4:Photo provided by Jun Ueno, a member of the committee About four months after the disaster (July 9, 2011) The number of evacuees: about 190 (5.5m2/person) 13
Chapter 2 Ideal State of School Facilities as Evacuation Shelters of the Community 14 Necessary functions for each of the four stages from the beginning of the disaster to dissolution of the shelter are organized as follows. It is important to equip the school with functions necessary as a shelter beforehand because it would be difficult to develop facilities and equipment necessary for a shelter after the occurrence of a disaster. Lifesaving/ evacuation stage (just after the evacuation); Life-securing stage (for several days after the evacuation) Ensuring sheltered-life stage (several weeks after the disaster) School function resuming stage (several months after the disaster) Social situation Situations at the shelter Necessary functions Space necessary for a shelter Occurrence of tsunami disrupted lifelines and disconnected information communication Arrival of relief supplies Gradual restoration of lifelines and information communication Local residents evacuated to school Opening of emergency evacuation shelter operated by the municipality Securing subsistence at the shelter Transition to the operation by a self-governing organization; start of volunteer activities transition to sound living at the shelter Resumption of school activities (Coexistence of emergency evacuation functions and school functions) Dissolution of the shelter; normalization Basic conditions of school facilities Earthquake protection (including that for nonstructural members, fire resistance Barrier free environment, thermal insulation Functions necessary for a shelter (for emergency) Information communication Power source, gas, toilet Stockpile of food, drinking water, etc. Living/operation spaces Spaces dedicated to students with disability, the elderly, expectant and nursing mothers, infectious disease patients, etc. Cooking/changing spaces Space to store relief supplies
