Exploring Life Through Science: Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction
Exploring Life Through Science Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction is geared toward making the senior high school students learn the basic concepts of the different hazards the Philippines faces. It presents the risks associated with specific hazards to enable students to recognize and assess their vulnerability. It gives the students the opportunity to develop their personal, family, and community emergency response plans to make them more disaster-ready. It also includes practical activities that reinforce learning as well as worthwhile projects that can be done individually or as a group that are all geared toward disaster preparedness.
ELTS DRRR features local and foreign scientists who had great contributions in the study of disasters or its origins. It also puts emphasis on the effect of climate change on the increasing risks and effects of disasters. It ultimately aims to make the students understand that disaster preparedness is not just a government effort but everyone’s.
