- What I do for DRR education and how I can contribute to this site
- I am a community engagement research project officer for Lincolnshire County Council EPU and specialise in community resilience and preparedness research, primarily children’s education. Over the last 12 months I’ve been working with a number of organisations to develop the Scouting 4 Resilience education programme which is planned to go National at the end of this month (November 2009). This programme has been designed to engage young people aged between 6 – 25 in all aspects of emergency and disaster management, giving them the tools to be able to plan for and respond to times of uncertainty. Following on from Scouting for resilience, we’ve piloted an education programme with the Lincolnshire Girl Guides which has proved to very popular. Further research projects include the collection and documentation of 1953 East Coast flood survivor experience and more recently 2007 flood effected children in order to compare the then and now and to bring to life the importance of being prepared for future emergencies. If you would like any further information on projects we are running in Lincolnshire please get in touch. A resilient community is a community that steers itself into a more sustainable future

I hope that you had success in your program, your work sounded very interesting. I no longer work in youth resilience but it is always good to hear of the good work people are doing.

I note with interest that Exercise Watermark is coming up in March and last time we spoke you were about to embark on educational projects in Lincolnshire. My research is centred around behavioural change in terms of Disaster Risk Reduction, and I am particularly interested in self-efficacy, which is essentially self-belief in ones own ability to make a difference.
I would like to make contact with any schools that have taken to emergency preparedness with a view to examining what (if any) impact they have had on preparedness in the wider community.
I would also like to interview key personnel in your field (including yourself) about the impact that the floods in 2007 had on the community in Lincolnshire and whether this has since waned and any reasons for this.
Anyway, I hope you can get back to me soon and we can arrange something useful.
Kind Regards,
Justin

As a geographer I was intrigued as to where our visitors and users of Edu4DRR come from, so I made this list! With flags too! Do we need groups for the more popular countries? What do you think?

Children of the Tsunami
Posted by Briony Towers on March 13, 2012 at 3:42am 0 Comments 0 Likes
This beautifully made documentary investigates children's experiences of the Japanese tsunami and nuclear disaster. It will be of real interest to anyone who works in the field of child-centred disaster risk reduction. The children articulate their experiences with great insight and in doing so, they further challenge the notion that children are passive victims of disaster who must rely on adults to speak for them. Of particular interest, is the children's desire to take what they have…
