On November 11th (Sunday), I had the opportunity to present the results to 29 people in the Aoyama district at the disaster prevention workshop held at the Hyogo Prefectural Disaster Prevention Center.However, since the workshop coincided with the start of the third wave of new coronavirus infections, Masahiro Fuchibe, a first-year student from our university, attended as a student representative and presented a video, and the other 50 people Participated remotely via ZOOM.

Participants commented that "it was the first time I was able to experience a remote system called ZOOM," and that "it was well organized with limited time and resources."
