Abstract :

Disaster Management was introduced in School Curricula in India after the devastating 2001 earthquake in Gujarat with an objective of making children learn about disaster management was to go beyond saving the lives of school children and school safety, to educate the community about better management of disasters. While preparation of school disaster management plans and conduct of mock drills aimed at saving the lives of school children by teaching them how to respond before, during and after the disasters, teaching them about hazards, preparedness and mitigation as academic subjects aimed at enabling a culture of better disaster management. It was envisaged that the knowledge imparted to children will not only provide them a sound understanding of the basics of disaster management but also spread beyond the school campus to the family of the children and thus to the society at large. Despite the fact that teaching and learning about disaster management in schools has been going on for nearly a decade, there is no empirical study to evaluate the impact of such an exercise.
