Why Disaster Education?

為什麼大城要做防災教育
Dacheng sits at "the Windy Head and Water End" of Changhua — between the Zhuoshui River delta and the Taiwan Strait. The land itself is the textbook.
大城地處彰化縣「風頭水尾」——濁水溪出海口與台灣海峽之間。這片土地,本身就是防災教科書。

Reflecting our local environment, Dacheng has long deepened its work in disaster-prevention education and built a campus engineered for resilience. The west coast brings typhoons and flooding; the inland fault brings earthquake risk; the rural farming community brings unique fire and pesticide hazards.

因應在地環境特色,大城國小長期深耕防災教育,把校園打造成一座有韌性的學習場。西部沿海有颱風與淹水、彰化斷層有地震風險、農業社區又有獨特的火災與農藥管理議題——每一項都是孩子要從小理解的「在地真實」。

Rather than treating disaster as a single safety drill, we built it into the seven core learning domains — Chinese, English, math, science, social studies, art, integrative activities — so that every subject is a chance to think about preparedness.

我們不把防災當成一年一次的演習,而是把它編進國語、英文、數學、自然、社會、藝術、綜合等七大領域——每一科都有機會練習「準備好」。

🏅
MOE Recognition · 2024
Seed School
教育部防災校園「種子校園」認證
In Year 113 (2024), Dacheng received the Ministry of Education's highest honour for advanced disaster-prevention schools — the Seed School certification — recognising both the depth of our curriculum and its readiness to be shared with other schools.

W.H.E.A.T. Five Powers

防災五力 · 大城孩子的五道內在燃料

The W.H.E.A.T. framework comes from a Taiwanese-language play on "大城去佗位" — "Where are we going, Dacheng?" — and answers it with five powers we want every child to grow into. Each letter is a verb in disguise.

W.H.E.A.T. 取自台語「大城去佗位」的諧音,回答的是「大城孩子要往哪裡去」——往這五個方向走。每一個字母,都是動詞。

W
Wisdom
智慧力
Know the risk before it knocks. Decide calmly when it does. 在風險來臨前認識它,來臨時冷靜判斷。
H
Health
樂活力
A healthy body is the first responder. Sleep, food, and exercise are disaster training. 健康的身體就是第一線——睡眠、飲食、運動都是防災訓練。
E
Energy
行動力
Move when it matters. Don't wait to be told twice. 該動的時候就動,不要等到被叫第二次。
A
Aesthetics
美學力
A campus you find beautiful is one you'll protect. Aesthetics is the long-term emotional infrastructure of safety. 你覺得美的校園,你才會去守護——美學是長遠的安全情感基礎。
T
Taste
食育力
Knowing what to eat, where it came from, and how to feed yourself in a crisis — food is disaster literacy too. 知道吃什麼、從哪裡來、危機中怎麼餵飽自己——食育也是防災素養。
"Five letters, five powers — one resilient child."
「五個字母,五種力量,一個有韌性的孩子。」
—— W.H.E.A.T. 課程設計的初心

Four Disaster Steps

防災四步驟 · 從減災到復原的完整循環

Wrapped around the five powers is a four-step cycle borrowed from international disaster-management practice — Mitigation → Preparedness → Response → Recovery. Each step is taught with a specific drill, a specific story, and a specific reflection.

在五力之外,我們用國際防災管理的四步驟循環包覆整個課程——減災 → 整備 → 應變 → 復原。每一步都搭配特定的演練、特定的故事、特定的反思。

1
Mitigation
減災
Reduce the risk before it ever becomes a disaster — campus mapping, hazard audits, removing trip hazards, planting shade trees, fortifying drainage.
2
Preparedness
整備
Get ready: emergency kit packing, evacuation routes memorised, role-cards for teachers, drills timed and reviewed. The goal is muscle memory.
3
Response
應變
When it happens: drop-cover-hold, head count, communication chain, first aid. We practice in school hours so the body knows what to do without thinking.
4
Recovery
復原
After the danger: emotional check-in, debrief, repair, lessons-learned report. Recovery is not the end of the disaster — it is the start of the next mitigation.

In the Curriculum

課程實景 · 大城去佗位

Theory only matters if it shows up on the timetable. Here are five activity tracks our students rotate through every year — each blending a different mix of W.H.E.A.T. powers and four-step phases.

理論要走得出課表才算數。下面是大城孩子每年會輪流體驗的五條活動主線——每一條都揉合不同的 W.H.E.A.T. 五力與四步驟組合。

防災闖關活動「災害來臨怎麼辦」
When Disaster Strikes
防災闖關活動 · 災害來臨怎麼辦

A station-rotation challenge where students walk through a typhoon, an earthquake, and a fire scenario back-to-back. Each station ends with a reflection card: what did you decide, and why?

防災闖關活動「永續發展知多少」
SDGs Quiz Stations
防災闖關活動 · 永續發展知多少

Eight quick-fire stations linking disaster prevention back to the UN Sustainable Development Goals — proving to ten-year-olds that local choices have global weight.

防災療癒系藝興染扇
Healing Through Craft
防災療癒系 · 藝興染扇

Dye-fan craft as post-disaster emotional recovery — turning a quiet creative ritual into a hands-on case study of why aesthetics belongs in the W.H.E.A.T. framework.

防災歐伊系墘餅肉多多
Food in a Crisis
防災歐伊系 · 墘餅肉多多

The "Taste" pillar in action — students make Tan-chien savoury cakes using local ingredients, learning what to cook when the power's out and what stays good in an emergency kit.

騎福大城逍遙遊
Cycling the Township
騎福大城逍遙遊

A full-day cycling tour of Dacheng township — students map evacuation routes, identify shelters, and meet the village heads who'd be on the phone if something happened tonight. The map is no longer a map; it's a memory.

小麥種植課程
Wheat-Planting Lab
小麥種植課程 · 食農教育

From sowing to harvest, students walk the full agricultural cycle. By the time they pull the first wheat stalk, they've absorbed lessons on weather, water, soil, and patience — the slow disasters that demand slow preparation.

A County Field-Study Hub

彰化縣特色遊學中心 · 大城接管潭墘校區
Since 112 學年度 · 2023
Tan-chien Campus, Reborn
潭墘校區 · 一座專為防災遊學而生的場域

Since the 112 學年度 (2023), Dacheng Elementary has taken over the Tan-chien Campus and rebuilt it as the Changhua County Featured Field-Study Centre. Visiting students from other Changhua schools spend full immersion days here, walking through W.H.E.A.T. lessons hands-on. 112 學年度起,大城國小接管潭墘校區,將其重整為彰化縣特色遊學中心。其他學校的學生來大城整天浸潤式體驗,從手作到實地走訪——把 W.H.E.A.T. 課程變成可以「住進去」的場域。

It's a county-level role that few rural schools carry — and one we're proud to. Disaster preparedness shouldn't stop at our own school gate. 這是少有偏鄉小校承擔的縣級任務——也是我們引以為傲的角色。防災教育不應該停在自己的校門口。
