Development of a “disaster storyteller (relater)” training program is necessary for sustainable and effective disaster management and tradition. In this paper, we observed a training program of atomic bombing storytellers (relater), who survived the bombing of Hiroshima, and legacy successors, who did not experience it. In addition, we conducted an interview survey of the Hiroshima City Hall administrative staff and eight tellers who completed the course program, as well as an analysis of training log data. The results showed that all interviewees who completed the program evaluated it positively, and many active storytellers completed the training every year. Finally, a standard training program for disaster storytellers was designed and proposed based on survey results.

Construction workers play an important role in attaining a good construction and safe building. However, it has not been getting enough attention to the importance of worker’s roles since it is assumed that engineer has already enough knowledge to control and supervise the construction workers. Based on the survey results, more than 95% of workers in West Sumatera have lack of knowledge about the earthquake-safe house requirements and retrofitting of damaged houses. In this study, the expert team of Andalas University conducted training for the construction workers in Padang City and Padang Pariaman District. The training provides all activities that support the whole construction process of the earthquake-safe house and the retrofitting method for unreinforced masonry houses using ferrocement layers, which is presented by slides presentation and practice on the field. The result of the training program shows that the knowledge of the construction workers on requirements of the earthquake-safe house and retrofitting method using ferrocement layer improved significantly. The construction workers understood how to build the earthquake-safe house and to retrofit the weak or damaged houses. This training program is an effective way in disaster risk reduction to prevent the damage to houses due to the earthquake.

Complex issues in training design can occur when a new training program must integrate device/equipment and personnel skills. The Firefinder Simulator, Artillery-Locating Radar System, and Course were analyzed in a specially devised approach to assure training effectiveness. Using qualified personnel for evaluation of course design and performance, a task-oriented questionnaire was given in an interview survey of 53 test-player subjects following a training effectiveness test. Selected results were significantly related to total group analysis reflecting the hypothesized design features and training effectiveness. Training efficiency was augmented so critical tasks and evaluative procedures were emphasized to verify and enhance course content. As a model personnel test and survey approach specific suggestions were produced for training development and improvement for instructors’ and students’ proficiency.

Background: Community pharmacy practice is changing to include pharmacist-administered immunization. As this change occurs, there is a need to understand pharmacy students' attitudes and interests regarding this new role. Objective: To examine the attitudes and interests of pharmacy students in administering immunizations and to use the information obtained to design and implement an immunization training program within an existing course in the PharmD curriculum at a college of pharmacy. Methods: A survey questionnaire was distributed to the first- and second-year PharmD students during the fall semester of the 2003–2004 academic year. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were used to report the data. Results: Two hundred nine surveys were distributed to first- and second-year students, and 172 were completed, yielding a response rate of 82%. Survey results showed that 76.7% of the students were aware that pharmacists can legally administer adult immunizations in Ohio, 94.2% think pharmacist-administered adult immunization is an important healthcare service, and 93.6% indicated they would be willing to administer adult immunizations after graduating. Conclusions: With the incorporation of an immunization training program into the curriculum, students can be well prepared and confident in administering adult immunizations. The immunization training program can also provide students with an opportunity to become involved in immunization as advocates or facilitators.
