Disaster Risk Reduction

Disaster Risk Reduction is all about being prepared for unexpected events that can cause damage or harm. Disasters can be natural, like hurricanes or earthquakes, or human-made, like fires or accidents.

Being prepared for disasters can help keep people safe. There are a few things you can do to get ready. One of them is to create an emergency kit. This kit should include things like water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, and a first aid kit. You can keep this kit in a safe and easily accessible place in case you need it.

Another way to prepare for disasters is to have a plan. You and your family should talk about what you will do if there is a disaster. For example, you might decide on a meeting place in case you get separated, or you might practice how to safely evacuate your home.

It’s important to remember that disasters can be scary, but being prepared can help us feel more confident and less afraid. By taking steps to reduce our risk, we can stay safe and protect our loved ones
