About

This article discusses how final year high school students learn about disaster risks. It describes the need for schools to work with families and charity groups to teach students effectively. The research involved 3,829 students from nine countries with different risk levels. It found that talking about disasters is more likely when education involves both schools and family or charities. The study suggests using various methods to teach disaster preparedness, focusing on partnerships that encourage discussions among teenagers, their friends, and families for better understanding and readiness in case of emergencies.
