<p>We investigated disaster risk perception and disaster preparedness at early childhood education and care (ECEC) facilities in Japan. Facility directors of 4,200 ECEC facilities were asked to participate in this study after being selected by random sampling (about 11% of all Japanese ECEC facilities). A questionnaire survey was administered from November 25, 2017 through February 15, 2018. Results revealed the following: (1) ECEC facilities assume disaster risks mainly from earthquakes, typhoons, and fires; (2) few facilities provide contents of disaster preparedness of facilities to guardians; and (3) most disaster prevention manuals currently used at ECEC facilities include matters related to physical and mental condition and psychological support after a disaster.</p>
