School Disaster Management: A child-centred approach to School Disaster Management activities in Vanuatu schools

This flipchart is a tool that can be used to help guide your students (and you) through some activities that will contribute to the safety of your school from natural hazards.

Throughout this flipchart the term ‘natural hazards’ is used instead of ‘disaster’. Natural hazards are something we can’t control but how we prepare for and respond to them is something that we can change. With careful planning and ongoing action, you can make sure that even when natural hazards occur, they won’t become disasters within your school or community.

This flipchart is intended for teachers to use in classrooms, where they are encouraged to create inclusive, participatory environments so that every student can participate and gain full understanding of what they need to do in an emergency.
