令和6年能登半島地震により被災した保育施設の保育継続および避難所運営に関する課題

This report describes the results of a survey conducted on the damage to day-care facilities caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake and the status of continuation of day-care services. Interviews were conducted with nursery schools, kindergartens, and certified childcare centers that were affected by the disaster, as well as with the local government divisions in charge of childcare. After the disaster, childcare facilities were required to resume and continue childcare, provide psychological care for children and their parents, and prepare for full-scale restoration. As for the method of resumption of childcare centers, many childcare facilities resumed childcare services in stages with shortened hours due to delays in securing manpower for caregivers and infrastructure development. It was also confirmed that there were several childcare centers that served as voluntary evacuation centers.

本稿では，令和6年能登半島地震による保育施設の被災と保育継続状況について調査した結果について報告する。被災した保育所，幼稚園，認定こども園および自治体の保育担当課を対象としたヒアリング調査を行った。被災後の保育所には，保育の再開・継続，子どもや保護者の心理的なケア，本格的な復旧の準備が求められていた。保育所の再開方法として，保育者の人手の確保やインフラ整備が遅れたことから，保育時間を短縮して段階的に保育を再開していた保育施設が多かった。また，自主避難所としての役割を果たしていた園が複数あったことが確かめられた。
