Effective Education for Disaster Risk Reduction - Teachers Network.
New Educational Resource: A disaster happening that you’ve never heard of…
Earlier this week, the lake reached the top of the natural dam, and began to spill out - rapid erosion of the landslide debris has authorities worried about a potential breach, and locals have been evacuated as officials
monitor the developing situation.
BUT:
Most of us may not as the global news can be biased towards the north. When I made this resource and asked my classes if they had heard about it on the news, they had not. But they had ALL heard about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In the UK the Geography Association, has a 'Geography in the News' section. I am now instigating a 'Geography NOT in the News' section on this site. I am attaching the Hunza_River_Disaster.ppt to this blog and I hope you can download and share. I have also added it to the edu4drr slideshare. which can be accessedfrom my profile or by searching for edu4drr on slideshare.net. If you use the resource, please let me know how useful it was.
Thank you
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?

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…
