Schools education
The schools curricula provides many different opportunities for teachers and students to study the issues involved in the risk and consequences of disaster.
These issues, and the knowledge of preparedness and risk reduction methods, can often be studied in a local context, developing life skills and knowledge at an early age, which can influence families and local communities.
Education in this area contributes to the personal resilience of children and enables them to see themselves as part of the wider community.
The Emergency Management for Schools education program supports the learning and teaching in this area, with publications, videos and interactive learning games for students, teachers and the general public.
