Every nation and every country should introduced disaster risk reduction program. If you are conscious then your nation will be conscious. The consciousness should starts at home. Some steps should taken like:
- Children are among the most vulnerable population group during a disaster, especially those attending school at the time of the catastrophe. During disasters, school buildings are destroyed, taking away the precious lives of children and teachers and stalling access to education in the aftermath of disaster. Rebuilding these schools can take years and is very costly.
- Learning about disaster risk in primary and secondary school help children play an important role in saving lives and protecting members of the community in times of disaster. Making disaster risk education an integral part of the national school curriculum helps to build greater awareness of the issues across entire communities.
- In addition to their essential role in formal education, schools must also protect children in the event of natural hazard. Investing in strengthening school structures before a disaster occurs long-term costs, protects generations of children and ensures educational continuity after the event.
These will make the children conscious. Disaster risk education empowers children and helps build grater awareness of the issue in communities.
After taking these steps we can hope for a good result.
- Increased awareness on the positive impacts of school safety and disaster risk education in school.
- Increased action and use of good practices to mobilize coalitions and partnerships, facilitate south-south exchanges, build capacity and guide others to existing resources for training in the area of disaster risk education and school safety.
- Local and national governments investment in safer school facilities and mainstreaming of disaster risk education into national school curricula.
