How did the students who learned DRR responded to the hazard?

Students who have learned Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) are more likely to respond effectively to hazards compared to those who have not. DRR education aims to increase the resilience of communities by providing knowledge, skills, and attitudes to mitigate, prepare, and respond to disasters. Students who have undergone DRR training have a better understanding of the potential hazards in their community and the steps they can take to reduce their risk. They are more likely to take proactive measures, such as preparing emergency kits and evacuation plans, and follow safety protocols during an emergency.

DRR education has been shown to be effective in increasing disaster preparedness and reducing the negative impacts of hazards on communities (UNESCO, 2015). It also helps build the capacity of students to contribute to community-based disaster risk reduction efforts, such as conducting risk assessments, developing early warning systems, and participating in emergency drills and exercises.

In summary, students who have learned DRR are better equipped to respond to hazards because they have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to reduce their risk and increase their resilience.
