私は現在、介護職として働きながら、地域おこし協力隊として活動しています。今回、2026年3月14日に開催された「コミュニティ研修会」に参加させていただきましたので、その内容を報告いたします。
本研修会では、「冬の避難所運営体験」をテーマに、実際の災害時を想定したさまざまな体験を行いました。
まず、ダンボールベッドやパーテーションの組み立てを体験しました。参加者はグループに分かれ、協力しながら作業を進めました。説明書は主に日本語で書かれており、理解が難しい部分もありましたが、周囲の方々に教えていただきながら取り組むことができました。また、新聞紙を使ったスリッパ作りも体験しました。最初は難しく感じましたが、イラストを見ながら進めることで、徐々に理解することができました。
次に、アルファ米の試食を行いました。アルファ米は、災害時や緊急時に活用される非常食であり、お湯または水を注ぐだけで簡単にご飯ができる便利な食品です。スプーンも付いているため、場所を選ばず食べることができます。さらに、さまざまな種類があり、中にはハラル対応の商品もあることを知りました。私自身、宗教上の理由で豚肉を食べることができないため、このような配慮がされていることに大変安心感と感謝の気持ちを持ちました。
最後に、防災物品についての説明を受けました。電気が使えない状況でも、電池や手動で使用できるライトや充電器など、さまざまな防災用品があることを学びました。また、衛星Wi-Fiについての説明もあり、災害時の情報確保の重要性を改めて実感しました。
今回の研修会は、非常に貴重な経験となりました。説明の中で「知識だけでなく、実際に体験することが大切である」という言葉がありましたが、実際に自分で体験することで理解が深まり、その重要性を強く感じました。
今後も、このような経験を活かしながら、地域の一員として防災意識を高めていきたいと思います。

I am currently working as a caregiver while also serving as a member of the Community Revitalization Cooperation Team. I would like to report on the “Community Training Workshop” held on March 14, 2026, in which I participated.
The theme of this training was “Winter Evacuation Shelter Management Experience,” and we engaged in various hands-on activities simulating actual disaster situations.
First, we experienced assembling cardboard beds and partitions. Participants were divided into groups and worked together to complete the tasks. The instruction manuals were mainly written in Japanese, and there were some parts that were difficult to understand. However, with the help of those around us, we were able to proceed with the activities. We also practiced making slippers using newspapers. At first, it seemed challenging, but by following the illustrations, we gradually understood the process.
Next, we sampled alpha rice, which is commonly used as emergency food during disasters. It is very convenient because it can be prepared simply by adding hot or cold water. It also comes with a spoon, making it easy to eat anywhere. Additionally, we learned that there are various types available, including halal-certified options. As I personally cannot eat pork due to religious reasons, I felt a great sense of reassurance and appreciation for such considerations.
Finally, we received explanations about disaster preparedness equipment. Even in situations where electricity is unavailable, there are various tools such as battery-powered or hand-cranked lights and chargers. We also learned about satellite Wi-Fi, which highlighted the importance of securing information during emergencies.
This training was a very valuable experience. One of the key messages was that “it is important not only to have knowledge but also to gain hands-on experience.” By actually participating in these activities, I was able to deepen my understanding and strongly realize the importance of practical experience.
Moving forward, I would like to make use of this experience and continue to enhance my awareness of disaster preparedness as a member of the community.
