This time, Kuroshio-cho's disaster prevention tourism has been certified as excellent certification in the 1st NIPPON Disaster Prevention Asset, a system certified by the Minister of Special Affairs (Disaster Prevention) of the Cabinet Office and the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

<Excerpts from the Excellent Certification Comments>

In order to raise awareness that evacuation actions would help (zero tsunami evacuees), the public and private sectors worked together to create an evacuation chart for all townspeople in the flooded area while repeating disaster prevention workshops many times. Initiatives such as construction of evacuation routes and tsunami evacuation towers, evacuation drills, etc. are being carried out.
Through disaster prevention tourism, a place for disaster prevention learning is provided that students acquire the ability to think and act on their own, and "think how to interact with people and nature."
