The local government of Shizuoka decided to perform a training simulation based on the Civil Protection Law for a terrorism event. No medical report has described training simulations based on the Civil Protection Law, so we herein report the contents and outcomes of our training. We selected the narrative method for this training simulation based on the Civil Protection Law. Shizuoka Prefecture performed a huge simulation drill on February 8, 2018, at Ogasayama Nature and Sports Park ECOPA. This training involved aid from the cabinet, Japan Self Defense Force (JSDF; Japanese Military), fire department, police and Shizuoka Disaster Base Hospital, with the scenario depicting many wounded and poisoned patients involved in a sarin gas attack and explosion carried out by terrorists during an international sports event. Approximately 700 civilians, public servants and military personnel participated in this drill. Thorough preparations for terrorism events should be made during peacetime. The cabinet and local governments of Japan intend to fully prepare the nation for such a situation based on these training simulations.
