"The theme this year is Making Youth Partners for Disaster Risk Reduction... which underscores the importance of redefining our disaster management approach, to embrace contributions from children through partnerships that can be forged with them," said Carl Herbert, National Disaster Coordinator (NDC), as reported by SKNVibes. "It is therefore essential that residents are educated about the hazards to which we are vulnerable, trained to respond to them, and that the process be attuned to include contributions from young people," he continues.
