Sendai Disaster Risk Reduction Framework



A couple of years ago, King's Ely Geographers attended the Hodder Natural Hazards Revision conference down in London, where Iain Stewart and various Chief examiners presented on wider research and ideas linked to the area of Disaster Risk Reduction.

This phrase is preferred by the scientists working in this area, and explores how the impacts of 'natural disasters' can be reduced by mitigation strategies, alongside the idea of Plan, Predict and Prepare, which is in the GCSE specifications too.
Marie posted a link to a resource on the Plan International website.
It can be downloaded as a PDF, and contains a 'child friendly' guide to the Sendai Framework with activities and cartoon graphics and text to share the messages about what is involved.

Useful for Year 10-13s to have a look at, particularly those preparing for exams.
