Stay safe and be prepared: a student’s guide to disaster risk reduction

The Students’ Guide (for students aged 11–18) is partly designed as a comic and tells the story of ‘Resilience Girl’. The Guide consists of three parts: 1) Presentation on basic disaster-related concepts; 2) Psychosocial effects of disasters; 3) DRR activities for students to do in class, at school, at home, and in the community. At the end of the Students’ Guide is a checklist on disaster knowledge and skills that allows students to assess their personal growth in becoming ‘Resilience Girl’ or ‘Preparedness Boy.’
