Education on disasters has tended to focus on disaster response and recovery, as opposed to proactive actions to reduce disaster risk and increase preparedness. Furthermore, disaster risk is framed as an external event or threat rather than being integrated into development patterns. In order to build disaster resilience in societies around the world, education will need to reframe how disaster risk can be understood and reduced — not only reducing existing risks, but also preventing the creation of new risks. Recommendations: • Educational materials on disaster risk should be tailored to fit the region in which they are being taught. • Traditional knowledge from indigenous communities should be included in educational materials on disaster. • Educational outreach on disasters should engage with migrants and visitors. • Women and girls must be fully included in educational outreach focusing on disasters.
