“…For example, planting trees or planting other crops to improve soil quality; (d) rehabilitation is an effort to help communities directly affected by natural damage. These efforts include rebuilding infrastructure damaged by natural disasters and providing assistance to communities to restore their physical and mental conditions; and (e) conservation of endangered species: Efforts to conserve endangered species can help restore populations of animals and plants that have been threatened due to various factors such as loss of habitat and poaching (Muñoz et al, 2022;Nagata et al, 2022;Sakurai et al, 2018). Various parties, such as the government, non-governmental organizations, companies and the community, can carry out efforts to repair natural damage.…”

This study aims to describe the differences in the character of caring for the environment between student-teacher candidates who have never taken Environmental Education Courses and have never taken them. The population in this study were prospective teacher students at the Faculty of Teaching and Education, University of Riau, totaling 5,013. The research sample used was 640 people spread over 16 study programs. Data collection techniques used were interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and observation. Then, the data were analyzed using different tests and frequency distributions. The results showed that: (1) the character of caring for the environment for prospective teacher students who had not taken Environmental Education Courses was in the medium category; (2) the character of caring for the environment of prospective students who have taken Environmental Education Courses is in the moderate category. The study concludes that there is no difference in the character of caring for the environment for prospective teacher students who have not taken and have taken Environmental Education Courses.

This study focuses on the risks that tourists would face during a tsunami on the island of Stromboli and discusses how to best inform and prepare them. Tsunamis affect coastal regions, where many of these are leisure destinations for tourists who often don’t have adequate knowledge of the region's risks. Due to their proximity to the affected areas, near-source or local tsunamis usually allow for a limited warning time, posing great challenges to the planning of effective risk mitigation action. Furthermore, tourist populations have a particular significance in studies on risk perception, since their needs intersect with those of the local population and must be taken into account. To gather key knowledge for developing robust risk communication strategies, a survey (n = 699) was conducted between July and October 2023 to assess tourists' risk perception and preparedness. The findings indicate that tourists often misdescribe tsunamis, leading to underestimation of the security threats posed by smaller events and revealing shortcomings in current communication approaches. Given the tourism industry practices on the island, effective communication strategies for tourists should prioritize providing comprehensive information within the first 24 h of their arrival. Furthermore, given the high percentage of tourists who visit the island for a few hours and within certain time slots, we invite the authorities to provide this information before disembarking on the island.

Based on the lessons learned from past disasters, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has notified the establishment of disaster base hospitals and ensured medical care continuity based on business continuity plan (BCP). Following these, we created a disaster management training program with 45 items, the Disaster Mitigation (Gensai) Calendar for Healthcare Disaster Management Guide (HDMG)* (“Gensai Calendar”) in 2018. Thereafter, a three-year multicenter project was launched at the Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital Organization to introduce the “Gensai Calendar” and assess its merits as a self-learning material through tests based on it. The project also aimed at establishing a common operating procedure (COOP) for medical continuity at affected healthcare facilities using annual comprehensive disaster drills. The numbers of participants and hospitals recruited for the test over the three-year period were 4,281 in six hospitals, 6,179 in ten hospitals, and 6,216 in seven hospitals. The total of 55 questions were asked in the e-learning format in the first and second years, and 11 in the third year. Questions with less than 70% correct rate were same for three years. Through the drills, a COOP flow diagram was constructed based on the initial responses in the wards. Furthermore, the crisis management system of each hospital was unified, and each BCP was revised into a standard document along the “COOP Flow Diagram.” A COOP system combining the “Gensai Calendar” learnings, annual “COOP Flow Diagram” drill, and standard documentation can be a viable system for medical continuity. This system could also be versatile and introduced to many healthcare facilities. * This is also the abbreviation for the Hiroo Disaster Management Group, which has a double meaning. The group consists of disaster prevention staff from the Tokyo Metropolitan Hiroo Hospital, Komagome Hospital, and Bokutoh Hospital, and is responsible for planning and managing disaster mitigation measures.
