Public awareness and education programmes, tailored to the needs of populations, specific risks and target groups, aim to foster behaviour change. The diversification of communication methods allows the most vulnerable groups to be reached and improves cost-effectiveness.
By investing in Disaster Risk Management education, societies can cultivate informed generations capable of actively contributing to reducing vulnerabilities and building collective resilience in the face of natural hazards and crises.

Why have a family preparedness plan?
Why have a family preparedness plan?
This booklet encourages the creation of a family preparedness plan by providing guidance on gathering the family, ensuring everyone’s well-being and following safety instructions to minimise risks. The ultimate goal is to promote family collaboration, transforming preparedness into a united team facing crises.
Beyond offering advice, the booklet examines effective preparation in different contexts, including volcanic eruptions, wildfires, earthquakes, landslides, heavy swells, tsunamis, cyclones and floods.
