Using a qualitative methodology, this article examines the extent to which children are involved in disaster risk reduction (DRR) in Muzarabani District, Zimbabwe. Despite evidence of the potential positive impact that children can have on DRR, their involvement in risk reduction planning in Zimbabwe is negligible. The article also provides a number of measures so children's voices can be heard and recognized as central to improved disaster risk reduction.
