Empowering Children in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
Children are among the most susceptible to the impact of disasters, making it crucial to equip them with knowledge and skills in disaster risk reduction (DRR). With a dedicated aim to enhance DRR education within schools, Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Initiative (SEADPRI-UKM) has embarked on the Sabah Field Mission, with specific attention to the geohazard-prone region of Kundasang. It is worth highlighting that this mission builds upon the accomplishments of the pilot mission in Janda Baik conducted last year, which was a success.
The session continued with hands-on activities related to DRR, including the creation of preparedness bags, a “Danger Bingo” game, a disaster-themed board game, construction of simple mudslide models, and school risk mapping. These interactive activities not only engaged students but also demonstrated the potential for school children to play an active role in conveying critical information to their households and local communities.
The aim of this mission is to integrate DRR education into the curriculum of schools. This approach recognises that schools are ideal places for children to acquire essential knowledge and skills about DRR. By educating the children on disaster preparedness and response, we empower them to be both informed and proactive in safeguarding themselves and their communities. The “Bengkel Pemerkasaan Pengetahuan dan Pengurangan Risiko Bencana” workshop took place at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kundasang. This ad hoc workshop was organised on 4 October, 2023, as part of the Science and Technology Week on DRR (STDR3 Week) and was made possible under the UNICEF Malaysia fund for Youth and Young Professionals Empowerment: Implementing SETI for Disaster Resilience.The event was a collaborative effort involving various key organisations, including U-INSPIRE Malaysia@UKM, Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Centre (DPPC), Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Kuala Lumpur, and UNICEF Malaysia.
