Besides, the BOSS installed a personal computer at the evacuation center's reception desk and arranged to check the BOSS flowchart to operate the works

Both teams confirmed the response of a young leader with relatively little

Under COVID-19, both teams tried to operate evacuation shelters at Kawasaki City Nakanoshima Elementary School with shelter management committee members, school staff, and ward office staff held at Nakanoshima Elementary School in

**Table 3** summarizes the positioning of each experiment. In the first experiment, although the BOSS team leader has limited experience in actual shelter management, the BOSS team is more advantageous. Therefore, in the second experiment, the leader of the BOSS team should be a new employee who has no experience of actual shelter operation and how to utilize BOSS, and the members should be senior staff rather than the leader. Also, verify that young leaders can effectively direct older members. On the other hand, the leader is a staff member who has experience

In the first experiment, the BOSS team leader was a young staff member with experience, but the leader can be instructed by the BOSS with past knowledge.

As in the first session, participants were divided into a manual team and a BOSS team, and each team carried out evacuation center operations at the same time. The number of people in each team consisted of 5 people, with 1 leader and 4 members.

*4.2.1 Overview*

In the second experiment, the manual team conducted similar training a day before the experiment to confirm the flow of the experiment's day. On the other hand, the BOSS team had no experience establishing shelters and only checked the manual and BOSS in advance.

The manual used by the manual team was the shelter operation manual at the time of storm and flood damage (**Figure 4(a)**) in the first instance, and the content was mainly text. However, in the second instance, the storm and flood damage kit (As shown in **Figure 4** (b) was used as a mission to understand the work even by paper-based documents.
