Apoy, Bagyo, Kalamidad: Dibuhong Pambata or ABKD 2011, is an annual and nation-wide poster-making contest for children ages 7-12 years old. CDRC conceptualized ABKD in 1996 as an activity to promote disaster preparedness.

ABKD served not only as an opportunity for children to show their artistic talents and creativity, but more importantly, as a venue for children’s participation in creating and generating a culture of disaster preparedness, especially among vulnerable communities.

CDRC believes that although children are among the most vulnerable sectors during disaster events, they also have the capacity to take active part in disaster preparedness. The poster-making contest has become a venue to express their views and concerns on disaster-related issues and the importance of biodiversity in reducing the impact of disasters.

The awarding ceremony will be held on October 6, 2011.
