To determine the teaching contents of housing life in home economics education from the view point of disaster prevention. Forty items for the teaching guide were developed according to previous researches. Questionnaires were given to home economics teachers of elementary, junior high and senior high schools nationwide asking them to review the forty items and determine their level of importance. We stepped on findings of this questionnaire to teachers and results of conventional reseach and did positioning of teaching contents correlate to educational level of the students. Two points of the teaching contents were adapted for elementary school level, three for junior high school, and four for senior high school. We suggest that the 'teaching contents for disaster prevention' in the housing life section of home economics will cultivate the ability to save the lives and quality of living of the students, their families and neighbors when faced with a disaster. This subject should be included to the next home economics curriculum.
