学校の２割、避難計画未策定　文科省、浸水・土砂警戒区域で初調査

　大雨による浸水や土砂災害で被害が生じる恐れがある全国の公立学校のうち、２割程度が避難確保計画を策定していないことが８日、文部科学省による初の調査で分かった。計画に基づく訓練も３割程度が実施していなかった。いずれも法律で義務付けられており、同省は各学校に通知を出して実施を促す。
　調査は、浸水想定区域か土砂災害警戒区域に立地し、市町村が地域防災計画で「要配慮者利用施設」に位置付けている全国の公立幼稚園、小中高校などを対象に昨年１０月１日時点で実施した。
　調査結果によると、浸水想定区域にある７４７６校のうち１１１１校（１５％）、土砂災害警戒区域にある４１９２校のうち８７９校（２１％）が、避難の方法・手順などを明示した避難確保計画を策定していなかった。訓練は浸水想定区域で２１０１校（２８％）、土砂災害警戒区域で１３６０校（３２％）が未実施だった。
　浸水想定区域で浸水深を考慮して施設内の浸水対策を行っているのは１１０２校（１５％）にとどまった。同省は学校施設環境改善交付金の配分などを通じ対策を促す。（2021/06/08-10:15）

About 20 pct of Japanese public schools in areas at risk of flooding or landslide have not come up with evacuation plans, an education ministry survey showed Tuesday.
   The first such survey by the ministry, conducted as of Oct. 1 last year, covered publicly run kindergartens, and elementary, junior high and high schools located in areas requiring vigilance against flooding or landslide in times of heavy rain and designated by relevant local governments as facilities used by those who need special attention under their disaster management plans.
   It found that 1,111, or 15 pct, of 7,476 schools in areas at risk of flooding and 879, or 21 pct, of 4,192 schools in areas with landslide risks have not mapped out evacuation plans specifying routes and methods.
   The survey also showed that 2,101, or 28 pct, of the schools in flooding warning areas and 1,360, or 32 pct, of the schools in landslide warning areas have not conducted evacuation drills.
   Revisions of the flooding prevention law and the landslide prevention law in 2017 made the compilation of evacuation plans and implementation of related drills mandatory for schools designated as facilities used by those in need of special attention against disasters.
