Abstract

It is a well-known fact that education and training are essential for disaster management. However, citizens and companies need to engage in training in addition to their main duties, and there are some situations in which they only conduct statutory fire drills twice a year, which is the minimum required by the Fire Service Act. In this study, we developed a method to quantitative evaluation of individual disaster management as a criterion for indicating the desirable level of education and training (Disaster Management Levelling System: DMLS) and to numerically indicate the achievement target. An ABC evaluation was conducted using the following six contents: 1) Occupational evaluation, 2) Education and training evaluation, 3) Practical evaluation, 4) Experience of Disaster response as work, 5) Experience as a disaster response volunteer, and 6) Hobby evaluation. For quantification, three patterns were examined: pattern 1; Added one point at each ABC rating, pattern 2; Added power of two at each ABC rating, and pattern 3; Added power of three at each ABC rating. The pattern of added power of three at each ABC rating was the most appropriate for the numerical expression. The DMLS is expected not only to set clear goals for disaster prevention education, but also to motivate individuals to engage in education and training through quantitative visualization of educational outcomes.
