The project aims to develop a disaster risk reduction framework. Developing the framework will include drafting the first national raising awareness guidelines through discussions with all relevant disaster risk management stakeholders as well as implementing one of the guideline’s activities – developing and distributing raising awareness material for children, young persons and visually impaired persons. Monitoring the effectiveness of raising awareness and education activities is crucial to their improvement and to reaching the overall goal: risk aware population. That is why one of the project’s activities will include developing a sustainable awareness monitoring system.
Risk awareness must be based on data and accurate information for it to be better accepted by the public and to enhance public’s trust in disaster risk management and awareness of the importance of the disaster risk reduction measures.
The project includes developing a bottom up disaster loss data collection and damage and loss assessment system. This system will be developed, local and national stakeholders educated and the system tested in 4 pilot areas in 4 regions in the country.
The culmination of the project will manifest through local level and civil protection officials implementing collected disaster loss data into the raising awareness activities and materials for greater impact – making the information more relevant and relatable for the citizens of each of the pilot areas.
