Learn from the daily efforts of the local disaster prevention community activities of the “Kakarigamashi Association for Disaster Prevention” and apply to your own community!

In the Saga Area of Kuroshio Town, there is a local dialect called “Kakarigamashi”. The word means “caring more than necessary” or “meddlesome”. Based on the idea that “Kakarigamashi” connections are necessary for disaster prevention, a group of volunteers in the Saga Hamacho Area of Kuroshio Town established the “Kakarigamashi Bousai (Disaster Prevention) Association”, meaning disaster prevention in which local residents help each other. This program will introduce the activities of this area’s volunteer group and provide an opportunity to exchange opinions with members who are actually engaged in various daily disaster prevention activities, thereby, contributing to disaster prevention efforts to implement in your own community. A visit to “Saga Area Tsunami Evacuation Tower”, the tallest in Japan is included.
