Elementary school students have created "My Timeline" using tablets!

While tablet terminals are located at each elementary school according to the GIGA School concept, we conducted disaster prevention classes that make the most of the environment.

For third-year students at Bairin Elementary School and Sugita Elementary School and sixth-year students at Byobugaura Elementary School, as part of a hands-on disaster prevention class (*1) in which the ward office and fire department collaborated, the Yokohama City Evacuation Navi (*2) created a My Timeline.

The Yokohama City Evacuation Navigation is also available from smartphones and other devices. We hope that elementary school students who have taken the class will spread the learning in the class to each family, etc., which will lead to the improvement of disaster prevention and solidarity in the entire region.

※2 What is the Yokohama City Evacuation Navigation?
"Yokohama City Evacuation Navi" is an application that supports each individual's evacuation behavior in an integrated manner from "now" in normal times to "Iza" in times of disaster. Using AR, you can create a "My Timeline" by using simulated experiences during flooding, checking hazard maps and shelters, automatically determining the dangers of your current location. In the event of a disaster, evacuation information linked to the My Timeline is sent a push notification to check the opened evacuation sites and routes.
