Smoke prevention experience

In major cities in Japan, there are generally smoke-proof experience cars, which can simulate a fire and organize children to board the car to experience the situation of escape and self-help in a fire. Some cities without disaster prevention experience cars set up a room, put a small amount of smoke indoors, organize children to cover their noses and mouths with wet towels, enter the smoky room, and then take a low posture to crawl forward to escape, so that they can experience the scene of escaping from the fire.

Disaster prevention education begins with dolls.

This is not only to cultivate children's ability to escape and save themselves, but also to cultivate children's awareness of fire prevention and social responsibility. The Japanese educate their children about disaster prevention, and do not encourage them to participate in fire fighting activities, nor do they encourage them to act as little heroes in fire fighting. But only educate them to call the police in case of fire and ask others to escape when they escape. Teach them some self-help measures to reduce fire casualties.

Disaster prevention environment

In Japan, newspapers, radio stations and TV stations often publicize the knowledge of disaster prevention and self-help. Take a bus with emergency evacuation doors and the words "emergency exit"; When you take the elevator, there is an accident button that says "In case of fire, please don't take it". All these can play a role in raising children's awareness of disaster prevention.
