BUILDING RISK KNOWLEDGE
WHY THE FOUNDATION WAS BORN? >
WHY THE FOUNDATION WAS BORN? >
DISASTERS ARE NOT NATURAL, they are socially built, due to lack of preparation, prevention, mitigation work, education and monitoring. They are natural risks or hazards that impact vulnerable societies. Knowledge help reducing social and structural vulnerability in order to have more resilient societies!
Most people have difficulty understanding the full range of possible impacts of volcanic events. For this reason, volcanic risk education efforts focus on engaging the public and public officials. We develop programmes for children and the local community to raise awareness of the risks.
Education = preparedness, safety and resilience
Risk assessments are the backbone of risk education programmes.
Teaching and learning about volcanic hazards is for everyone
