Abstract
It is expected that many coastal regions in Japan will be attacked by huge tsunami in near future. Therefore, tsunami evacuation plans are considered in Japan. In this paper, tsunami disaster education was carried out for elementary school children and their parents. The purpose of this education was to encourage development of a family plan for tsunami evacuation. At first, children and their parents learned about tsunamis and how to evacuate safety during tsunamis. Second, they searched for safety tsunami evacuation places near their houses. Third, they made a tsunami evacuation map and developed the family evacuation plan based on this map. Through this education program, children not only got the knowledge about tsunami but also got the wisdom about tsunami evacuation.
