Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction: An Essential Paradigm Shift

by Lerato Mokena
June 26, 2024

The Disaster Risk Management Centre (DRMC) runs an annual resilience programme focused on disaster risk reduction, specifically tailored to cater to women and girls. The programme covers topics related to disaster management such as early warning systems, neighbourhood resilience evaluations, and waste management. The syllabus also includes practical skills such as selfdefense, basic firefighting techniques, and first aid. The programme is designed to foster disaster preparedness at home and in the community through experiential learning beyond the classroom. The goal is for these newly minted disaster risk reduction ambassadors to share their knowledge and raise awareness about the critical importance of resilience and preparedness in their communities.
