The original versions of these are almost four years old now, but after some being translated into major European languages that are spoken globally I wanted to be inclusive of other languages. This relies on meeting the right people and for this I relied on my good friend Tatiana Saraeva who translated here into Russian language! I am including the first seven below, with hopefully more to come soon. As…

I have read an interesting blog written by Robert Glasser from UNISDR, with the WCDRR coming up in Cancun. I agree with many of the points made, and would like to see more culturally appropriate community/family led and oriented DRR communication and learning projects given more credence and attention. My research with #CERT and #Listos in the US is showing that these can have a more significant impact on long term cognition, behaviour sand action towards disaster risk and response.…

Gender and disaster risk reduction in Europe and Central Asia: Workshop guide for facilitators

It is meant to assist workshop participants— including practitioners and officials from the United Nations, national governments, civil society organizations (CSOs), and other institutions—in...Using paired teaching for earthquake education in schools
Disaster education plays a key role in reducing vulnerability and increasing safety and community resilience to disaster risks. Geoscientists can inform mitigation and resilience strategies as they collect and analyze data relevant to disaster risks. However, many of the approaches they use to engage with the public involve one-way, asymmetric communication,...Safe and Resilient Cities (Self-paced)
The course will expose city officials and practitioners to cutting edge tools on vulnerability assessments, policies and programs, stock-taking and gaps analysis, and financial access. The discussion will also focus on decision making under uncertainty to identify options and establish priorities, making the city more resilient to climate change impacts...Economics of Climate-Resilient Development (Self-Paced)
In this course, you will learn the basics for developing economically viable climate-resilient plans. The course starts with a review of the scientific consensus on changes in climate patterns and projections to the future, and explains the rationale for countries to develop climate-resilient plans that will help them to move away from a business-as-usual...Introduction to the Open Data for Resilience Initiative (OpenDRI)
This short course provides an overview of the approach and toolset developed by the Open Data for Resilience Initiative.

Hi Justin,
I've sent an email response due the the limitations of the wall.
Kind Regards

It has been a while since we last met. Hope you are fine and the studies are progressing well.
I have been working on a project on various methods for teaching disasters to kindergarten children since Feb. 2010. There is a section in the project that aims to introduce methods that are used in different countries for teaching disasters (such as earthquakes, floods, volcano, etc) to kindergarten children. I was wondering if this request can be posted on the edu4drrwebsite, so I can hear from other members about the experiences they have in their countries in this regard.
I would appreciate your assistance.
Regards

Thanks a lot for actively updating the news and studies about DRR! I think I owe you a lot for this.. :)
I did a detailed research on cyclone risk and role of natural buffers like mangroves, casuarinas, or man made structures like dikes in reducing the risk to lives. I found mangroves playing a very strong protective role and reducving risk to human lives by more than 50%. Of course, I analysed total deaths and total human population at risk in the study area.
Also to all the EDU4drr members.
