Child-Led Disaster Risk Reduction: A Practical Guide

“Save the Children empowers childen and young people to become involved in their community’s preparedness and mitigations plans. This guide will illustrate the steps that have been taken in Asia to replicate a successful Child-led Disaster Risk Reduction (CLDRR) program, originally piloted in Cuba. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) consists of both the reduction of vulnerability to disasters and the preparedness for when disasters do occur. DRR can happen at a national, provincial and community level – ideally, for maximum impact, all levels should be integrated.” (p.1)
