This booklet was prepared in the frames of the SEE project www.seeproject.eu It is a report on best practices identified from existing educational projects or actions at European level on disasters risk awareness, prevention and preparedness measures for emergencies and self protection. Based on knowledge, expertise and innovation it aims to build a culture of safety and resilience for education. The selection of these elements of excellence was realized by a SWOT matrix analysis and will form the basis of the decision-making process for the establishment of a teaching program for disasters.

This study aimed to determine the awareness of Laguna State Polytechnic University ? Siniloan Campus towards natural disasters? safety precautionary measures and mitigation. The researcher used descriptive research in finding the answers to the problems stated in the study. The study was composed of 384 respondents among the staff, faculty and students of LSPU ? SC who experienced the natural disaster. The research instrument used was structured questionnaire checklist to determine the extent of information about the level of awareness of the staff, faculty and students of LSPU-SC towards natural disaster?s safety precautionary measures and mitigation. Upon the interpretation of the gathered data of the study, it was found out that the result of the said study that Laguna State Polytechnic University-Siniloan Campus was aware on the natural disasters safety precautionary measures and mitigation. The researcher recommends the institution to conduct frequent seminars and trainings about the natural disasters in order for the constituents to be more aware and knowledgeable about the things that must be done before, during and after the occurrence of all the natural disasters that will strike either in school or in home.

Earthquake damage includes non-structural failure, failure of utility systems and, infrastructure, loss of function and other non-structural damage. Occupants, building owners, insurance companies, building inspectors and others, through their use of the buildings, systems and content, can affect the risk of such negative events. Thus, a prerequisite for more effective disaster risk reduction is increased risk awareness amongst people and in the community and state development planning process, the educational curriculum, and media. As knowledge is clearly connected with understanding risks, the perception of natural hazards and risks in the local environment should be developed with the help of education. This paper presents a comparative study of the current educational curriculum on natural hazards within the school systems in four European countries: Italy, Portugal, Spain and Iceland. None of the countries provides courses dedicated to this topic but include it within other sub...

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has historic profile of multifaceted disasters, including, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, cyclones, sand storms, rock falls, collapse of structures, epidemics, fire, terrorist acts, stampedes and other complex emergencies. The recurring enormous human and material losses emphasize the need for pursuing modern concept and approach which entail paradigm shift in handling disasters, from 'response centric' to 'proactive' disaster risk management (DRM) leading to disasterresilient infrastructure, building integrated response capability and achieving enhanced awareness in the societal context. The DRM encompasses all activities related to disaster mitigation, preparedness, emergency response, recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction. The study synthesizes information obtained on DRM from published literature, personal experiences and interaction with the stakeholders. Besides, questionnaire survey was also conducted to assess the community ...

There are many kinds of disasters taking place in the globe such as coastal erosion, tidal waves, floods, soil erosion, increased storm intensity, species migration, fire and explosions which can be damaged to human lives as well as cultural heritage. Cultural heritage is experiencing the arts, heritage and activities that truly represent the stories and people of the past and present. This has taken much attention during the past decade. Less rainfall in the dry season may negatively affect on cultural heritage. It is very important to protect world cultural heritages from natural disasters. A significant number of human lives and cultural heritage destroy due to unavailability of effective early warning dissemination system. Countries should take preventive measures to minimize the damages created by natural disasters. Human actions are causing greater change in climate and that will have a significant adverse impact on the cultural heritage. Many historic cultural sites are likel...

Among various kinds of disasters, flooding is unique in the sense that it has a very high degree of predictability, both in the short term, as well as long term. Floods can have devastating consequence and can have effects on the economy, environment and people. Though flood situations cannot be entirely prevented but steps can be taken to prevent or minimize injury, loss and speed the recovery process. Present study is an effort to assess the knowledge regarding disaster preparedness. During the study it has been found that majority of the sample had average knowledge regarding disaster preparedness but they were not prepared to deal with disaster i.e. flood situation.

It is further widely accepted that the actuality of risk management invariably differs from current mainstream prescriptions (Olechowski et al., 2016; Papke-Shields et al., 2010; Taylor, 2006; Kutsch & Hall, 2009).There nevertheless remains a paucity of research that explores the reasons for this widely observed variance between theory and practice.
