Teaching about hazards and in particular, earthquakes, can be challenging. A balance has to be struck between preparing children while not frightening them so that they either panic or deny the risk in later life as a coping mechanism. Later on this year in November I hope to part of a team of researchers observing Earthquake Drills in Southern California. As a researcher and a teacher I would argue the case for good experiential learning where children carry out a wide variety of learning activities to learn about how best to react in the event of an earthquake, alongside drill practice and first aid classes which will also give them the capacity to help in the event of a particularly large earthquake. But what is your view? Have you been carrying out education along these lines? If so let us know and even share your resources with us for others to use. You can attach up to three documents with each forum input! I look forward to reading about your experiences...
