Disaster Resilience in Communities Begins in Schools

The DIPECHO project, short for “Directorate General for Humanitarian Aid – ECHO,” is an initiative to begin educating school children about resilience training against natural disasters. The first project aimed at 25 most-at-risk schools to develop a mathematical risk model and evaluate and implement a channel through which resources are utilized in an equitable manner to drive more awareness of hazards, vulnerabilities, and capacities.
