“…There is a need for schools to be involved in preparations for the disaster phase regardless of the type of disaster. School administrators are responsible for managing the students' safety and health, supporting the establishment and operation of a school shelter, and the resumption of early and continuing education courses (Nakao, Uno, Terumoto, & Takahashi, 2013). Many elementary and junior high schools were designated as municipal shelters (Amitani, Sudo, Tsuboyama-Kasaoka, Ishikawa, & Sako, 2017); however; no report was made on the designation of ENIs (Cabinet Office, 2015).…”

Aim: This study identified issues associated with disaster prevention measures in three Educational Nursing Institutions (ENIs) affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Methods: Participants were eight ENI nursing faculty members in the Tohoku region. A qualitative descriptive methodology was utilized using semi-structured interviews. The focus was on the successful aspects of the participants' actions following the disaster. Disaster prevention issues that were identified were divided into two categories: rehabilitation period and emergency conditions. Categories were classified using the narratives of the eight participants. Results: Five issues identified in the rehabilitation period were: (1) clarification of the role of schools in the area; (2) communication methods at the time of disaster were not established; (3) emergency equipments were insufficient; (4) the need to review content of disaster prevention training; and (5) failure to utilize the disaster prevention manual adequately. Six issues mentioned in the emergency conditions are as follows: (1) the roles of faculty and staff were not clarified; (2) command and control systems were underdeveloped; (3) evacuation methods were not defined; (4) the safety confirmation system was incomplete; (5) the role of students was unclear due to a lack of infrastructure to adequately support them; and (6) it was difficult to care for the students. Conclusions: Educational Nursing Institutes should be aware that their institutions could be utilized as evacuation centers following disasters, despite not being designated as such in the regional disaster prevention plan. As a result, ENIs should be prepared to fulfill their role in assisting survivors. In addition, disaster prevention plan should equally balance the business continuity plans for disasters, thus ensuring "student safety and health management". Also, "measures to resume and continue education" are necessary.

“…Haga, Kim, and Mitsuhashi (2008) clarify the actual condition and tendencies of some evacuation shelter facilities to improve evacuation shelter management plans. Regarding the education space, Nakano et al (2013) describe the necessity of early resumption of education after a disaster. Mutch (2015) describes the necessity of education for the mental recovery of students after a disaster.…”

Elementary schools are usually designated as evacuation shelters during a disaster. Based on this regulation, it is essential to plan the evacuation space in evacuation shelters, including for disaster management control centres, crisis centres, and so on. Since the primary function of the elementary school is for educational activities, it is also essential to consider the education space during the use as an evacuation shelter. When making an evacuation shelter management plan, it is necessary to examine the relationship between the evacuation space and the education space. Based on this relationship, it is possible to show the utilized area. In addition, it is essential to consider the process of operating an evacuation shelter from the occurrence of a disaster based on the stage of evacuation. This study aims to show a method of spatial planning based on floor area distribution and management depending on the stage of evacuation. This investigation confirms the priority level of activity spaces for both the evacuation and education needs. The research confirms the priority level of facilities (activity space needed) for planning the evacuation space and the education space. In addition, the research conducts classification of type by prioritizing activity space between the evacuation space and the education space. The result identifies four types of spatial planning and management methods based on stage of evacuation.
