Recommendations
In the Environmental Disaster Prevention Programme, students can learn more specialised knowledge through guides specialising in different fields.
The programme also provides an opportunity to think not only about disasters in Muroto, but also about possible disasters based on the topography and geology around their own school, which will help them in their subsequent disaster management studies.
