3rd Disaster Risk Reduction Workshop for Secondary School Teachers
Priority three of the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction’s Hyogo Framework for Action indicates that countries must use knowledge, innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience at all levels. Moreover, it states that disasters can be reduced substantially if people are well informed about measures they can take to reduce vulnerability and if they are motivated to act. It is in this vein that the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM) partnered with the Ministry of Education for another Disaster Risk Reduction Workshop for Secondary School Teachers which has been included as part of the Ministry of Education's 4th Annual Professional Development Workshop for Teachers.
