The key to reducing loss of life, injuries, and damage from any disasters is widespread public awareness and education. People must be made aware of what natural hazards they are likely to face in their own communities. They should know in advance what specific preparations to make before an event, what to do during a hurricane, earthquake, flood, fire, or other likely event, and what actions to take in its aftermath.
The purpose of this programme is to enable disaster risk management practitioners and related role-players to improve professionalism and enhance the quality and effectiveness of services by being able to create awareness and promote a culture of risk avoidance through advocacy activities.
