学校の教職員を対象とした地震の危機管理研修教材が無いという課題を踏まえて，総務省消防庁が推奨する図上型演習の知見を参考に，発災時の教職員自身の判断や対応をシミュレーションする訓練教材を新たに開発した．シミュレーションを作成する上で，過去の災害の事例，専門的見地からの予測，教職員自身の想像力の3つを活用した．学校現場での実践を踏まえ，「学校管理下の首都直下地震に対応できるようになるために，学校やその他のステークホルダーに求められることは何か」というリサーチクエスチョンへの答えを明らかにした．4校で訓練を実施した結果，教職員が子供を第一に考えて行動していた一方で，それ以外の側面では多くの混乱事象が発生していたことが明らかになった．具体的には，保護者・避難者の対応が追いつかない／保健室が怪我人で溢れる／誰も学校全体の状況を把握できない，である．学校と協議しながら，これらの混乱事象を解消する3つの方法（保健室への搬送基準を定める／保護者や地域住民に周知を行う／情報共有の仕方を検討する）を検討・実施した．3つ目の「情報共有の仕方」については，学校ごとに議論を行ってもらい，具体的な方法を定めることとした．図上シミュレーション訓練実施後，4校全てが自校の災害リスクのさらなる洗い出しや，課題を解決する方法の模索，新たな取り組みの実施に至った．訓練を契機に，課題を発見し解決していくサイクルが生じたと言える．訓練を通じて明らかになった知見や，訓練後の学校の変化を踏まえると，学校が首都直下地震に対応できるようになるための要素として，子供が発災時に怪我をしないために防災教育を実施する他，自校の災害リスクを把握した上で，発災時に必要なアクションやルールを検討し，学校全体で議論し続けることが重要であることが示唆された．
Based on the issue of the lack of earthquake crisis management training materials for school teachers, we developed new training materials that simulate teachers' own judgment and response in the event of a disaster, referring to the findings of a diagram-type exercise recommended by the Fire and Disaster Management Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. In creating the simulation, we utilized three elements: examples of past disasters, professional predictions, and the imagination of the teachers and staff themselves. Based on the practice at schools, we identified the answer to the research question, "What is required of schools and other stakeholders to be able to respond to an earthquake directly under school control? It became clear that many disruptive events occurred in other aspects. Specifically, parents and evacuees were unable to keep up with the response, the infirmary was overflowing with injured people, and no one was able to grasp the situation at the school as a whole. In consultation with the schools, we considered and implemented three ways to resolve these disruptive events (establish criteria for transport to the infirmary, inform parents and local residents, and consider ways to share information). After the simulation drill, all four schools further identified their own disaster risks, sought ways to solve problems, and implemented new initiatives. The training was an opportunity to create a cycle of discovering and solving problems. Based on the findings revealed through the training and the changes in the schools after the training, the following elements should be considered in order for schools to be able to cope with an earthquake directly under the Tokyo metropolitan area: disaster prevention education to prevent children from being injured in the event of a disaster; understanding the disaster risk in one's own school, considering necessary actions and rules to be followed in the event of a disaster; and the implementation of a school disaster prevention program. It was suggested that it is important to continue to discuss the issue as a whole.
