Background
Many countries are gone far ahead of India in child centric disaster risk reduction training. Israel & Singapore do extensive training in civil defence but in India children are not involved and their voices are not heard. Herein, schools have a very important role to play. Initiatives should be taken to logical lengths and all four schools have a comprehensive school safety programme, school disaster management plan, book, SOP for all staff. This needs to be immolated further.
